Common Vim/Vi operations (version 2) and vimvi Version 2

Colleagues around you are either using vim or Emacs. If you use ultraedit, you are embarrassed to say hello to others. What plug-ins are there? syntax highlighting and spelling check, everything that can be opened to it is a word: Cool.

If you say so, you have to learn how to do it for half a year. Half a year! It's far from getting started. It's good to learn to move the cursor. You don't have to worry about it, it's just moving around !!!

Is vim used in linux the same as vi?

Vim is vi improved

Strictly speaking, they are quite different. However, only vim is installed on linux, so you do not need to go into details. After vim is installed, a connection named vi is usually created.

For linux beginners, vim is not very easy to use. You can give some common operation methods to introduce the advantages of vim, or recommend other useful editors.

Vim is extended from vi. It includes all vi usage and adds many new usages. For example, it displays different colors for comments and parameters, and can also be used in other cases. there are a lot of sp or block selection, etc, I suggest you learn vi first. The reason is simple. vi is supported in all nuix and linux versions without installation.
In addition to vi and vim, there are also Emacs, KVIM, Arachnophilia, Bluefish, Komodo Edit, NEdit, Gedit, Kate, and Quanta Plus editors, which can be selected based on your preferences.
