Viper tutorial #0: Introduction
This Viper tutorial is based on the vi tutorial VILEARN. Some things
works differently in Emacs and corresponding parts of the tutorial has
been changed for this. There has also been added some basic
information about Emacs that are useful to get started if you already
are a vi user.
This tutorial is a hands-on-tutorial for Viper. If you want more
information about Viper, please read the VIPER-MANUAL.
Note that if you are using Viper you probably still want to know quite
a bit about Emacs to use Emacs efficiently. Therefore you can also
run the Emacs tutorial from here - with special support for
Viper. This is part 6 below. You should run this part also to get to
know which Emacs standard key bindings are shadowed by Viper.
The tutorial consists of these parts:
0 Introduction
(this file)
1 Basic Editing
Covers the handful of commands required to both navigate all
five tutorials and do basic editing.
2 Moving Efficiently
Covers all of the cursor positioning commands. These are the
commands used later as arguments to editing commands.
3 Cutting and Pasting
Introduces the first compound commands, numbering, and copy
buffers.
4 Inserting Techniques
Continues the discussion of compound commands, while completing
the list of insertion commands first discussed in tutorial one.
5 Tricks and Timesavers
This is less a tutorial than a description of common vi commands
which don't fit correctly into normal logic.
6 Emacs Tutorial for Viper Users
Even Viper users use a lot of keys from Emacs. Therefore you can
run the Emacs tutorial here too. It will show you which keys in
the tutorial that are changed because you are using Viper. This
depends of which Viper state you are in, vi state or some insert
state. If you switch Viper state the tutorial will immediately
show which keys are affected.
BUGS
Vilearn has the remark that it "Still doesn't cover variables, ex
commands, or tags. At least one more tutorial is necessary for a
complete introduction to vi." - I do not think you have to learn those
parts to use Viper. There are other ways to do these things in Emacs!
For more information about vilearn see the the README-FILE.
