vi is so-named because it is based on VIsual mode for the standard EDitor. There's less distance than one might think.

  That includes the distance between the X and D keys? (-: ex, not ed.

    ex is the EXtended standard editor, so it's in the path, sure. But vi and ed actually have many of the same commands.

      You are still claiming that ed is the one with the visual mode?
