How to Quit Vim — VIM ALPHABET

[lieryan]

If you see vi in a somewhat recent Linux environment, most likely it's actually not the real Vi but actually Vim. In some distros, this is vim-tiny which is just the core vim without any of the standard plugins or syntax color, etc, but you can install full vim from the package manager.



There are some distros that actually use busybox's vi. If you don't know what busybox, it's a very barebone reimplementation of GNU coretools (basic shell commands like ls, grep) designed for space constrained environments like docker containers or embedded systems. You'd almost never see busybox in full fledged Linux distro even minimalist distros.

Ok. good video, but I have to note... Ubuntu 18.04 didn't have vim on default. There was vi though! I can see why it got Vi improvement... Good I had used vim a little before. Really confusing...

With Windows, install Git Bash. It comes with Vim.
