KKB Vim Editor

The document discusses the Vim text editor. It describes the three main modes in Vim - Command mode, Insert mode, and Execution mode. Command mode is the default mode where commands can be used but no editing occurs. Insert mode allows editing by adding or deleting text. Execution mode is needed to save files using commands like ":wq". Switching between modes involves using keyboard shortcuts like "i" to enter Insert mode or Esc to exit it.
