VI/VIM3 Basic mode of operation:

Command-line mode	Controls the movement of the screen cursor, the deletion of characters, words or lines, moving, copying an area and inserting mode, or to the last line mode.
Insert mode	Only in the Insert mode, you can do text input, press the "ESC" key to switch to the command line mode.
Last-line mode	To save the file or exit the Vi/vim editor, you can also set the editing environment, for example: List line numbers, find replacement strings, and so on.

Required Mobile keys:

              Upper              K        left J        L right              J              below  is the arrow key under Vi/vim, using: Switch to command-line mode by K (UP), J (bottom), h (left), L (right) to move the cursor.

After entering GIVM, in command-line mode, press "I" to enter insert mode (note that it is lowercase i) at this point you can enter the content you want in your editor. Here is a simple C program, for example, the following steps:

• Enter insert mode

I

• Input content

#include <stdio.h>int main () {  printf ("Welcome to Friends Song blog");  return 0;}

• Switch to command-line mode

Esc

• Switch to last line mode

Shift +:

• Saving files to the desktop

W DESKTOP/WELCOM.C

• Exit

Shift +: Q

After the order is complete, you can almost simply use the Gvim editor. Here, to learn vi/vim the simplest way is to use it, as far as possible, full keyboard operation, do not use the mouse. (When you all work with the keyboard to complete, is not a kind of hacker's sense of foot, a bit of forced, hehe)

Tip: "Desktop" Here is our Desktop directory.
