Lines -which begin with >>> mark exercises you should try. When you -want to exit this tutorial type 'Z''Z' (type capital Z, twice). - -When you type commands in vi they do not appear on the screen. If the -letters you type unexpectedly appear on the screen, press the ESC key. - - -BASIC CURSOR MOVEMENT ---------------------- -To move through the tutorial use C-d (control d) and C-u (control u). - - C-d Move DOWN one half-screen - (depress the control key and type d) - - C-u Move UP one half-screen - (depress the control key and type u) - -* EMACS-NOTICE: C-u is normally used in Emacs for UNIVERSAL-ARGUMENT. - You can in most cases use DIGIT-ARGUMENT instead. - ->>> Now type C-d (control d) and C-u (control u) to move down and back up. - -When you are done reading a screen, you are expected to type C-d to move -down to the next screen. You must remember to type C-d throughout the -tutorial. - -To move the cursor line by line, or character by character, use the -four keys 'h', 'j', 'k', and 'l'. - - 'h' Move left one character - 'j' Move down one line - 'k' Move up one line - 'l' Move right one character - -You will notice that these keys are in a straight line on the -keyboard. Study the diagram below showing the function of h, j, k, l. - - UP - ....... ....... ....... ....... - : : : : : : : : - LEFT : h : : j : : k : : l : RIGHT - :.....: :.....: :.....: :.....: - - DOWN - ->>> Now type 'j' or 'k' a few times to bring the cursor to this line. - ->>> Try moving off the right end of a line using 'l' . Notice that ->>> vi will not allow you to move off the end of the line using 'l' . ->>> Likewise, you cannot use 'h' and 'l' on a blank line. - ->>> Try moving past the bottom of the screen using 'j' . Notice how ->>> how the screen scrolls downward. - ->>> Now practice using 'k' to move up, and 'h' to move left. - - -DELETION --------- -To delete characters and lines, use 'x' and 'd''d'. - - 'x' X-OUT one character - 'd''d' DELETE one line - -To undo your changes, use 'u'. - - 'u' UNDO last change only - ->>> Delete this SCRAP line. Move to this line with 'j' or 'k' , now type 'd''d' . ->>> Try undoing the deletion with 'u' . - ->>> Move to this line and x-out the Y's with 'x' : "whY ask whY?" - ->>> Try undoing the deletion with 'u' . Try typing 'u' several times. ->>> Notice that 'u' only undoes the last change. - -* EMACS-NOTICE: In Viper you can use the repeat command '.' (just a dot) - to undo more changes. This goes in both direction, ie undoing and - redoing. Typing just 'u' changes direction. - -Here are more lines on which to practice deleting and undoing (use: 'd''d' 'x' 'u' ) - - Emacs is a nice creation.

To quit and save your -changes, use 'Z''Z' . When you are editing your own files, you normally -use 'Z''Z' to quit. - - :q!<RETURN> QUIT without saving changes - (type a colon, then the letter q, then an - exclamation point, and press RETURN) - - 'Z''Z' Exit and save any changes - (type capital Z, twice) - - - -INSERTION ---------- -You enter insert mode with 'i' or 'o' . Anything you type during insert -mode appears on the screen. When you are done inserting, press ESC -to exit insert mode. Type C-[ (control [ ), if you do not have an ESC key. - - 'o' OPEN a line for inserting text - 'i' INSERT starting at the cursor - - ESC ESCAPE from insert mode - -During insert mode, use your erase character (usually backspace or -delete) to delete mistakes. The characters you delete will remain on -the screen until you press ESC. - ->>> Insert your name and phone number below the next blank line. To do this: ->>> Open a line below using 'o' . ->>> Type your first and last name. Press RETURN. ->>> Then type your phone number and press ESC. ->>> Use 'x' to erase part of your phone number. - ->>> Type the date below your phone number. To do this: ->>> Open another line using 'o' . ->>> Type the date and press ESC. - ->>> Type 'u' to undo the insertion. - ->>> Insert a nickname between your first and last names, using 'i'. To do this: ->>> Move the cursor to the spot between your names using 'h', 'j', 'k', 'l'. ->>> Press 'i' . ->>> Type the nickname, use DELETE or BACKSPACE to erase any typos. ->>> Then press ESC. - -On some computers, a line may be longer than the width of the screen. -This means that a very long line may appear to be two lines on the -screen. This happens when you keep typing without pressing RETURN at -the edge of the screen. To avoid any confusion when you're inserting -text, be sure to press RETURN before reaching the right edge of the -screen. - - -SUMMARY -------- -These are the vi commands you should know after tutorial #1: - - C-d Move DOWN one half-screen - (depress the control key and type d) - - C-u Move UP one half-screen - (depress the control key and type u) - - 'h' Move left one character - 'j' Move down one line - 'k' Move up one line - 'l' Move right one character - - 'd''d' DELETE one line - 'x' X-OUT one character - - 'u' UNDO last change - - :q!<RETURN> QUIT without saving changes - (type a colon, then the letter q, then an - exclamation point, and press RETURN) - - 'Z''Z' Exit and save any changes - (type capital Z, twice) - - 'o' OPEN a line for inserting text - 'i' INSERT starting at the cursor - - ESC ESCAPE from insert mode - - -You are now prepared to do simple editing on your own files. Practice -using vi for a few days. Then take the second vi tutorial to learn -more powerful and useful vi commands. - -Copyright (c) 1992 Jill Kliger and Wesley Craig. All Rights Reserved. |
