- greenhouse_gas 9y ago>I think vi is probably more ubiquitous though, As I mentioned below, While it may be more ubiquitous, vi isn't present on Debian's live cd, while nano is.
- YSFEJ4SWJUVU6 9y agoThat's odd, considering vi is part of the POSIX specification and all. Many distributions won't come with full vim by default, but most do install a trimmed version of it to fulfil the role of vi.
- vidarh 9y agoAll I care to know of vim is how to exit it...
- petercooper 9y agoI know how to get out of it, and also how to get into insert mode and make the most elementary of changes. I tried going further but it just doesn't mesh with whatever form of memory I have installed in my brain :-D
