In this video, Sandra uses the Linux text editor Vim to edit files.
- [Designer] In this chapter, we'll take a look at Vim.…Vim is a text editor.…So you use it to work with text files.…To open a file with Vim, use the file name as the argument.…We'll start by entering the Vim command.…Now, we need to enter an argument.…We'll use the sentence file we created in a previous video.…When I hit enter at the end of the argument,…it opened up my text file.…You can see at the top is the sentence that I entered…when I created the file.…We're gonna cover two Vim modes: command and insert.…
First, the command mode.…Everything that is typed in this mode,…some people call it normal mode, is interpreted as commands.…When you enter Vim, you'll be in command mode.…You can also use search and navigation commands…that let you move around your file.…You need to remember that when you're in command mode,…you can't insert text without first issuing an insert…or a pen command.…In command mode, I can use the arrows to navigate…around my text.…In order to change something, I'm gonna have…to enter insert mode.…
