Linux upgrades Vim 8.0

Linux upgrades Vim 8.0
GuideThe Vi editor has been available for a long time since its release in 1976. It not only provides users with efficient editing interfaces and terminal control functions, but also provides us with many traditional and practical functions. However, the Vi editor lacks frequently used functions such as multi-screen, syntax highlighting, and multi-step Undo.

Therefore, the development and appearance of Vim (enhanced version Vi) provides users with a more complete, advanced, and complete text editor. Vim should be invisible to Linux users, it is a powerful, highly configurable cross-platform text editor for Linux, OS X, Solaris, * BSD, and Windows platforms.

Users familiar with Vim should know that their main features include window separation, Vimdiff, folding, flexible indentation, Unicode support, comprehensive documentation, and powerful plug-in architecture, and native support for many scripting languages.

How to install Vim 16.04 in Ubuntu 8.0

Although Vim 8.0 has been officially released, it takes a long time to enter the official sources of major Linux distributions. Fortunately, some people have made unofficial PAGs for Ubuntu and its derivative versions for installation. However, this method is risky. We recommend that you only use it for testing environments.

sudoadd-apt-repositoryppa:jonathonf/vimsudoaptupdatesudoaptinstallvim

After the installation is complete, you can directly use the vim command to view the release information.

To uninstall the PPA source and return to the old native Vim version provided by Ubuntu official source, run the following command:

sudoaptinstallppa-purgesudoppa-purgeppa:jonathonf/vim

For other Linux release users, in addition to waiting for official source updates, you can also manually compile the source code to taste Vim 8.0.
