[QUOTE="mac57, post: 336952, member: 17052"] There are two things I would recommend: 1/ If you can stil get it, I would recommend the wonderful book "The Ultimate Guide to the VI and EX Text Editors" by Hewlett Packard, ISBN0-8053-4460-8, copyright 1990. This is, without exception, the best guide to vi (and hence vim) that I have ever seen. 2/ A shameless plug for my own VE text editor. See [url]http://www.campbell-tx.net/campbellware/ve.html[/url]. I wrote the original of VE back in the early 90s and have been adding to it ever since, but always with the design objective of being small, fast and focused. Late last year I built a Mac OS X 10.4.8 version of it and released it to my web site. VE is much easier to use than vi and in many ways, more powerful. Like vi, it is a console/xterm/Terminal based text editor. You will find a complete user guide along with it, which includes a handy one page "getting started guide" that shows you all the key operations right away. [/QUOTE]
