In Emacs the editor is the operating system. To type "blimpy" you download a software package and install it. In Vim the editor is one part of a larger operating system, called Unix. To type blimpy in Vim, combine several Unix tools and read the output. Type this: :read ! cat /dev/urandom | LC_CTYPE=C tr -cd 'blimpy' | head -c 1000000 | fold -w 1 | sort | uniq | tr -d '\n'<RET> (<RET> means "hit the RETURN key". don't type it!) That gives us something just a little bit off but we can fix that with only three keystrokes. Just type: lxp Now you have blimpy!
