There's nothing that hard-core Unix and Linux users are more fanatical

about than their text editor. Editors are the subject of adoration and

worship, or of scorn and ridicule, depending upon whether the topic of

discussion is your editor or someone else's. vi has been the standard

editor for close to 30 years. Popular on Unix and Linux, it has a

growing following on Windows systems, too. Most experienced system

administrators cite vi as their tool of choice. And since 1986, this

book has been the guide for vi. However, Unix systems are not what they

were 30 years ago, and neither is this book. While retaining all the

valuable features of previous editions, the 7th edition of Learning the

vi and vim Editors has been expanded to include detailed information on

vim, the leading vi clone. vim is the default version of vi on most

Linux systems and on Mac OS X, and is available for many other operating

systems too. With this guide, you learn text editing basics and advanced

tools for both editors, such as multi-window editing, how to write both

interactive macros and scripts to extend the editor, and power tools for

programmers -- all in the easy-to-follow style that has made this book a

classic. Learning the vi and vim Editors includes: A complete

introduction to text editing with vi: How to move around vi in a hurry

Beyond the basics, such as using buffers vi's global search and

replacement Advanced editing, including customizing vi and executing

Unix commands How to make full use of vim: Extended text objects and

more powerful regular expressions Multi-window editing and powerful vim

scripts How to make full use of the GUI version of vim, called gvim

vim's enhancements for programmers, such as syntax highlighting, folding

and extended tags Coverage of three other popular vi clones -- nvi,

elvis, and vile -- is also included. You'll find several valuable

appendixes, including an alphabetical quick reference to both vi and ex

mode commands for regular vi and for vim, plus an updated appendix on vi

and the Internet. Learning either vi or vim is required knowledge if you

use Linux or Unix, and in either case, reading this book is essential.

After reading this book, the choice of editor will be obvious for you

too.
