vi documentation

Hi,

Anybody knows where I can found a friendly and complete guide for useing vi. I love using it. But there are some tasks I just don’t knwo hotw to do it.

Can be on-line documentation, a pdf file or whatever… what matter is understadable and complete

thanks all for your feedbacks

Normally I’d consider replies like this a bit rudimentary, but here it is:


man vi

When asked for a choice do: 1p

what is understandable to you may not be understandable to me…

or, you might try narrowing the search down by seeking info on vi in
Spanish, Portunol, or Brazilero…

Try running ‘vimtutor’ from the command line. Great command, and a
built-in tutorial.

Good luck.

Thanks to all replys!!

All are very usefull!

any other will be wellcome as well :slight_smile:

c-ya

start vi
type:

:help

It’s a little dated but it can be helpful.

vimtutor is what am I’m doing now and It’s very friendly and complete as I asked.

But… I have a question about vi… I type or delete some characters, then press U (Undo all the line), and then press Ctrl+R and the text is not re-do.

At the bottom-left on the screen a message saying: “Already a newest change”. I suppose to know why… but I need a conformation…

I guess I made some changes between U and Ctrl+R.

could be that ?
or anything else ?

thanks and regards

If you undo (u, not U) and then you type something then Ctrl+r (not
Ctrl+R) will NOT do anything since you have moved beyond the point where
the “redo” would make sense.

Good luck.
