Does anyone have a list of all the vi commands
 
have you tried the built in manual?<br>man vi<br><br>you may be getting more editing than you need<br>have you tried edit ?&nbsp;&nbsp;same editor but different interface , simpler to use.<br>man edit <p>Ed Fair<br><a href=mailto: efair@atlnet.com> efair@atlnet.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply. <br>
Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.<br>
 
Every vi user should bookmark the Vi Lovers Home Page at <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> a list of vi and ex commands, head over to <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> seems (to me) to be a pretty complete reference.<br><br>Every Unix user should learn how to use vi.&nbsp;&nbsp;I've never come across a Unix server that doesn't have vi installed.&nbsp;&nbsp;For the real vi addicts out there, check the Vi Lovers Home Page for links to DOS and Windows versions of vi ;^) <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>--<br>

I agree with Ed...simplest to just look at, or even print the man page from the system your working on.&nbsp;&nbsp;If your O/S manuals are handy, you may even luck out with a listing there, perhaps in one of the appendices.<br><br>Andy...I tried to look at the link you provided, for the list of commands, but got nowhere.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can you check the link and re-post it.&nbsp;&nbsp;I looked so that I could perhaps have a better, more concise, or more detailed copy for my own use.<br><br>Thanks... <p>Tom Whitehead<br><a href=mailto:twhitehead@commeq.com>twhitehead@commeq.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
