Vi, pronounced "vee-eye", is a full-screen text editor available in UNIX. Vi allows you to view and edit text files and is generally one of the faster editors in terms of speed of work. Vi is the oldest and most compact of a series of editors that use the same interface and commands. Vi provides the user with little guidance and requires that the user knows a number of obscure keystrokes. Other editors compatible with the interface explained in this document are vim and gvim. gVim is the graphical version of vim, and includes menus and mouse control to make the interface simpler to use. It requires X-Windows compatibility (explained in the gVim section), and is the suggested vi editor for new vi users. Documentation
