VI EDITOR COMMANDS

VI EDITOR is a text editor used by all linux programs, which is very


powerful
(alot of resources) ,yet little tricky to learn.

There are two types of operations in the VI editor:-

1. COMMAND OPERATIONS : All the operations that are performed in the


editor (except text manipulation)
is done by the command operations. Eg. -
moving cursor across file

- saving the file

- delete

- cut/copy/paste, etc.

2. INSERT OPERATIONS : All the text manipulation is done by the insert


command, in simple terms
all the text related stuff , comes under the
insert command.

* We use 'HJKL' to move cursor through keyboard


H - left
J - up
K - down
L - right

* To enter the INSERT MODE or, in simple terms to start writing in (vi)
we first press "i" button from the keyboard ,which enables the INSERT
MODE,
then start writing what we want.

* To go to the LAST LINE MODE , first press "esc" button then press the
":" button

* To SAVE a file , first go to the command mode, then type "wq" (means
write quit)
hit the enter button

* To COPY a line , first go to the line that you want to copy , then
press the "y"
button twice, then go the destination where you want to paste the
copied file ,
then press the "p" button.

* To DELETE a line , first go to the line that you want to delete , then
press the "d"
button twice.

* To SEARCH a word , go to the command mode then type "%s/(word)" , hit


enter.
* To SEARCH and REPLACE , again go to the command mode and type
"%s/(search_word)/(replace_word)"
, hit enter.

* To EXIT from (vi) , go to the command mode, then type ":q" [ you can
also exit from the
vi editor( without saving changes ) by just typing ":q!" ]
