Présentation par l'éditeur
Real Linux users don't use GUIs. No matter how popular,
slick and sophisticated the interfaces become for Linux and
UNIX, you'll always need to be able to navigate in a text
editor. The vi editor is the original standard UNIX full
screen editor. It's been around almost since UNIX began and
it has changed very little. To get around the limitations
of vi Bram Moolenaar created the vim editor (the name stand
for VI iMproved). It contains many more features than the
old vi editor including: help, multiple windows, syntax
highlighting, programmer support, and HTML support. All of
the books published to date focus on vi alone not the
expanded vim shipping with every major Linux distribution.
In true New Riders' form, the vim reference will be a
definitive, concise reference for the professional Linux
user and developer. This tutorial takes a task oriented
approach allowing you to learn only the commands that make
your job easier.
