Introduction

Vim (Vi IMproved) is a powerful an enhanced version of the UNIX program "Vi". The commands are entered through the keyboard, but there is also a GUI version. Vim is very configurable. If you are new to Vim don't just start it to try it out. Start "vimtutor" instead to learn more about Vim. Vim is one of the programs where it really pays off to read the manual! More on Vim in 6kb.
