Vim Quick Start

Learning from: Experimental building

VIM has 6 basic modes and 5 derivation modes

Normal Mode:

The default mode after Vim is started, commonly used editor commands such as moving the cursor and deleting text.

In normal mode, there are many ways to enter the insert mode, usually a or I key.

Insert mode:

Most keys in this mode insert text into the text buffer. Return to normal mode by pressing ESC

Visual mode:

Similar to normal mode, but the move command expands the highlighted text area. The highlighted area can be a character, a line, or a piece of text. When a non-moving command is executed, the command is executed to the entire highlighted area.

Select mode:

This mode can use the mouse or cursor keys to highlight the selection of text, but the input of any character, Vim will use this character to replace the selected highlighted text block, and automatically enter the insertion mode.

Command-line mode:

You can enter text that will be interpreted and executed. After the command executes, VIM returns to the previous pattern.

Ex mode:

Similar to command-line mode, you can execute multiple commands at once.

Common mode, insert mode and command line mode are commonly used.
