This is an excellent vi-like editor. I've been using it for a while as a lightweight vim alternative and have few complains.
The name choice is unfortunate, as it clashes with the vis(1) command, which has existed since 4.4BSD
- emmelaich 9y agoYes, and the BSD vis is part of MacOS which quite a few people use. There was a homebrew package for 0.2 but it was deleted. Not sure if was replaced with a different name. How about vi9 for a name? Or Vine. Pretty easy to type since the 9 is just above the i on the keyboard. (qwerty)
- doozy 9y agoIf being easy to type is the criteria, I would suggest vij, vio, vil, vid or via, since that's where your fingers are likely to be after typing vi if you are touch typing.
