Vim and Vi Tips: Essential Vim and Vi Editor Skills

by Jacek Artymiak

No Unix-class system administrator or user will get far without learning the basics of Vim, the modern replacement for vi, widespread visual text-mode editor. Contrary to some misinformed opinions spread among users who are new to Unix-class systems, Vim is not difficult to learn. Granted, it is not very friendly to beginners, but once you grasp the basic concepts, you will never have to learn another text editor again, because Vim is available for all standard operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, BSD, and many others. This book helps you shorten the time you need to spend learning Vim.

"Essential VIm and Vi editor skills" is a lot more descriptive than "VIm and Vi Tips". The books is nothing more than the description of the basic editing commands. Based on the name, I've expected something more (some real non-obvious tips), but unfortunately, it is not there.
