Vim (improved version of Vi)

Vim is a command line text editor available on Linux and usable in a terminal or over a connection secured by SSH.
Vim is very similar to Vi, because it's an improved version of Vi.

As Vi, it has different modes, but you will use especially :

• the normal mode : to read a text file.
• the commands mode : to type commands. For example : a search (/word to search), save the file (:w), save and exit (:wq), ...
• the insert mode : to edit the file. For example : change sentences, delete characters or lines, ...

In total, there are 6 different modes : Normal mode, Insert mode, Command-line mode, Visual mode, Selection mode and Ex mode.

Then, Vim supports :

• Syntax Highlighting
• Command History
• Unicode
• etc.
