Anybody explain 'edition mode' 'insertion mode' ? New terms?
- beaumartinez 15y ago"Edition mode" is what the author calls "command-line mode".
- thristian 15y agoI'm not sure where those terms come from. "insertion mode" is described by the Vim documentation as "insert mode", because what you type on the keyboard is inserted into the document. "edition mode" might be a typo or English-as-a-second-language mistake for "editing mode" because that's what you do in that mode; Vim's documentation just calls it "normal mode".
