I just freshly installed vi and tried that. Here's what I was greeted with. http://pastebin.com/HxvNP6Tr http://pastebin.com/HxvNP6Tr I've seen the tutorial that you're probably talking about a few years ago when I got curious about vi. It didn't really do it for me at the time. I'm prepared to believe that people willing to tolerate its ideosyncracies can be very productive in vi or vim. I've seen it first-hand. It also appears to be well suited to potentially reducing rsi-type problems. But it is not intuitive to learn nor is it the least bit friendly. That's a shame too because there is no good reason why it couldn't be so.
