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!
