What is VI-editor? While in vi you can run AIX commands without exiting the editing session. Creates a shell to execute the command that follows. 1.:!ls will create a shell 2. All files in the current directory are listed. Press return to exit the shell and return to the vi session or 3. While still in command mode, issue the:r. Using this editor is quite simple. Type vi file-name, and the editor opens. One advantage of this editor is that we can manipulate text without using a mouse. We only need the keyboard. Let's start this great tool right away. This command opens up a brand new file named filename. The file looks like this. Vi has two modes insertion mode and command mode. The editor begins in command mode, where the cursor movement and text deletion and pasting occur. Insertion mode begins upon entering an insertion or change command. ESC returns the editor to command mode (where you can quit, for example by typing:q!).

We created the VI Editor cheat sheet because of the amount of time members of our team spend working in the Linux Terminal. Working on our web app is a full time occupation and for the developers, using the command line 247 can be exhausting. Forgetting a command here or there can really break up their workflow. So we put together the VI cheat sheet that can be used for quick reference as and when you need!

Thank you, guys. We really appreciate your work and your good intentions.
