Overview

For many users, working in the UNIX environment means using vi, a full-screen text editor available on most UNIX systems. Even those who know vi often make use of only a small number of its features.

The vi Editor Pocket Reference is a companion volume to O'Reilly's updated sixth edition of Learning the vi Editor, a complete guide to text editing with vi. New topics in Learning the vi Editor include multi-screen editing and coverage of four vi clones: vim,
elvis, nvi, and vile.

This small book is a handy reference guide to the information in the larger volume, presenting movement and editing commands, the command-line options, and other elements of the vi editor in an easy-to-use tabular format.

A companion volume to the newly updated sixth edition of "Learning the vi Editor", this "Pocket Reference" presents movement and editing commands, the command-line options, and other elements of the "vi" editor in an easy-to-use tabular format.
