    Excellent, easy to follow tutorial and just to try it out I’m typing this response using Vim, I’ve had it on my Ubuntu install for ages and spent moretime trying to decide between Vim and Emacs than actually learning either one. Guess you just swung it! Now, how do I copy this????

  • hornerf says:

    very nice!…simple and direct…exactly what I was looking for in an introduction.

  • danielsaan1976 says:

    Because in UNIX vi/vim is often the available/installed editor. if you don’t have access to those other editors, what do you do? learn it mate. You’ll be doing yourself a favour.

  • gasto5 says:

    Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow, I know I will sound like a troll, but really why would go the trouble of learning all those key combinations in command mode, if I can easily do the same functionality with the modifier keys (ctrl, shift alt) in other more intuitive editors?

  • Autotrope says:

    Good tutorial. I like to learn it by actually seeing it done rather than trying to memorize a bunch of commands.

  • corypollard says:
