and print text -easily. -A -.I -text editor -.R -is a program -that assists you -as you create and modify text. -The text editor you will learn here is named -.I edit. -Creating text using edit is as easy as typing it -on an electric typewriter. -Modifying text involves telling the text editor -what you want to add, change, or delete. -You can review your text -by typing a command -to print the file contents -as they are currently. -Another program (which we do not discuss in this -document), a text formatter, -rearranges your text -for you into ``finished form.'' -.PP -These lessons assume no prior familiarity with computers -or with text editing. -They consist of a series of text editing sessions -which lead you through the fundamental steps -of creating and revising text. -After scanning each lesson and before beginning the next, -you should try the examples at a terminal to get a feeling -for the actual process of text editing. -If you set aside some time for experimentation, -you will soon become familiar with using the -computer to write and modify text. -In addition to the actual use of the text editor, -other features of \s-2UNIX\s0 will be very important to your work. -You can begin to -learn about these other features by -reading one of the other tutorials -that provide a general introduction to the system. -You will be ready to proceed with this lesson as soon as -you are familiar with (1) your terminal and its special keys, -(2) how to login, -(3) and the ways of correcting typing errors. -Let's first define some terms: -.sp .5 -.IP program 12 -A set of instructions, given to the computer, -describing the sequence of steps the computer performs -in order to accomplish a specific task. -The task must be specific, -such as balancing your checkbook -or editing your text. -A general task, -such as working for world peace, -is something we can all do, -but not something we can currently write programs to do. -.IP UNIX -\s-2UNIX\s0 is a special type of program, -called an operating system, that supervises the machinery -and all other programs comprising the total -computer system. -.IP edit -.I edit -is the name of the \s-2UNIX\s0 text editor you will be learning to use, -and is a program that aids you in writing or revising text. -Edit was designed for beginning users, -and is a simplified version of an editor named -.I ex. -.IP file -Each \s-2UNIX\s0 account is allotted -space for the permanent storage of information, -such as programs, data or text. -A file is a logical unit of data, -for example, an essay, a program, -or a chapter from a book, -which is stored on a computer system. -Once you create a file, -it is kept until you instruct the system to remove it. -You may create a file during one \s-2UNIX\s0 session, -end the session, -and return to use it at a later time. -Files contain anything you choose to write and store in them. -The sizes of files vary to suit your needs; -one file might hold only a single number, -yet another might contain -a very long document or program. -The only way to save -information from one session to the next is to store it in a file, -which you will learn in Session 1. -.IP filename -Filenames are used to distinguish one file from another, -serving the same purpose as the labels of manila -folders in a file cabinet. -In order to write or access information in a file, -you use the name of that file in a \s-2UNIX\s0 command, -and the system will automatically locate the file. -.IP disk -Files are stored on an input/output device called a disk, -which looks something like a stack of phonograph records. -Each surface is coated with a material similar to that -on magnetic recording tape, -and information is recorded on it. -.IP buffer -A temporary work space, made available to the user -for the duration of a session of text editing -and used for creating and modifying -the text file. -We can think of the buffer as a blackboard that is -erased after each class, where each session with the editor -is a class. -.bp -.SH -.ce 1 -\s+2Session 1\s0 -.sp 1 -.SH -Making contact with \s-1UNIX\s0 -.PP -To use the editor you must first make contact with the computer -by logging in to \s-2UNIX\s0. -We'll quickly review the standard \s-2UNIX\s0 login procedure -for the two ways you can make contact: -on a terminal that is directly linked to the computer, -or over a telephone line where the computer answers your call. -.SH -Directly-linked terminals -.PP -Turn on your terminal and press the \s-1RETURN\s0 key. -You are now ready to login. -.SH -Dial-up terminals -.PP -If your terminal connects with the computer over a telephone line, -turn on the terminal, dial the system access number, -and, when you hear a high-pitched tone, place the -telephone handset in the acoustic coupler, if you are using one. -You are now ready to login. -.SH -Logging in -.PP -The message inviting you to login is: -.DS I 1i -login: -.DE -.LP -Type your login name, which identifies you to \s-2UNIX\s0, -on the same line as the login message, -and press \s-2RETURN\s+2. -If the terminal you are using -has both upper and lower case, -.B -be sure you enter your login name in lower case; -.R -otherwise \s-2UNIX\s0 assumes your terminal -has only upper case and will not recognize lower case -letters you may type. -\s-2UNIX\s0 types ``login:'' and you reply -with your login name, for example ``susan'': -.DS I 1i -login: \fBsusan\fR \fI(and press the \s-2RETURN\s0 key)\fR -.DE -(In the examples, input you would type appears in -.B "bold face" -to distinguish it from the responses from \s-2UNIX\s0.) -.PP -\s-2UNIX\s0 will next respond with a request for a password -as an additional precaution to prevent -unauthorized people from using your account. -The password will not appear when you type it, -to prevent others from seeing it. -The message is: -.DS I 1i -Password: \fI(type your password and press \s-2RETURN\s+2)\fR -.DE -If any of the information you gave during the login -sequence was mistyped or incorrect, -\s-2UNIX\s0 will respond with -.DS I 1i -Login incorrect. -.if t .sp .2v -.if n .sp 1 -login: -.DE -in which case you should start the login process anew. -Assuming that you have successfully -logged in, \s-2UNIX\s0 -will print the message of the day and eventually will present -you with a % at the beginning of a fresh line. -The % is the \s-2UNIX\s0 prompt symbol -which tells you that \s-2UNIX\s0 is ready to accept a command. -.bd I 3 -.SH -Asking for \fIedit\fP -.fl -.bd I -.PP -You are ready to tell \s-2UNIX\s0 that you -want to work with edit, the text editor. -Now is a convenient time to choose -a name for the file of text you are about to create. -To begin your editing session, -type -.B edit -followed by a space and then the filename -you have selected; for example, ``text''. -After that, -press the \s-2RETURN\s0 key and wait for edit's response: -.DS I 1i -% \fBedit text\fP \fI(followed by a \s-2RETURN\s+2)\fR -"text" No such file or directory -: -.DE -If you typed the command correctly, -you will now be in communication with edit. -Edit has set aside a buffer for use as -a temporary working space during your current editing session. -Since ``text'' is a new file we are about to create -the editor was unable to find that file, which it -confirms by saying: -.DS I 1i -"text" No such file or directory -.DE -On the next line appears edit's prompt ``:'', -announcing that you are in \f2command mode\f1 and -edit expects a command from you. -You may now begin to create the new file. -.SH -The ``Command not found'' message -.PP -If you misspelled edit by typing, say, ``editor'', -this might appear: -.DS I 1i -% \fBeditor\fP -editor: Command not found -% -.DE -Your mistake in calling edit ``editor'' was -treated by \s-2UNIX\s0 as a request -for a program named ``editor''. -Since there is no program -named ``editor'', -\s-2UNIX\s0 reported that the program was ``not found''. -A new % indicates that \s-2UNIX\s0 is ready for another command, -and you may then enter the correct command. -.SH -A summary -.PP -Your exchange with \s-2UNIX\s0 as you logged in and made contact with edit -should look something like this: -.DS I 1i -login: \fBsusan\fP -Password: -\&... A Message of General Interest ... -% \fBedit text\fP -"text" No such file or directory -: -.DE -.SH -Entering text -.PP -You may now begin entering text into the buffer. -This is done by \fIappending\fP (or adding) text to whatever -is currently in the buffer. -Since there is nothing in the buffer at the moment, -you are appending text to nothing; -in effect, -since you are adding text to nothing -you are creating text. -Most edit commands have two equivalent forms: -a word that suggests what the command does, -and a shorter abbreviation of that word. -Many beginners find the full command names -easier to remember at first, -but once you are familiar with editing you may -prefer to type the shorter abbreviations. -The command to input text is ``append''. -(It may be abbreviated ``a''.) -Type -.B append -and press the \s-2RETURN\s0 key. -.DS I 1i -% \fBedit text -\fR:\|\fBappend -.R -.DE -.SH -.bd I 3 -Messages from -.I edit -.fl -.bd I -.PP -If you make a mistake in entering a command and -type something that edit does not recognize, -edit will respond with a message -intended to help you diagnose your error. -For example, if you misspell the command to input text by typing, -perhaps, ``add'' instead of ``append'' or ``a'', -you will receive this message: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBadd\fR -add: Not an editor command -: -.DE -When you receive a diagnostic message, -check what you typed in order to determine what -part of your command confused edit. -The message above means that edit -was unable to recognize your mistyped command -and, therefore, did not execute it. -Instead, a new ``:'' -appeared to let you know that -edit is again ready to execute a command. -.SH -Text input mode -.PP -By giving the command ``append'' (or using the abbreviation ``a''), -you entered -.I -text input mode, -.R -also known as -.I -append mode. -.R -When you enter text input mode, -edit stops sending you a prompt. -You will not receive any prompts -or error messages -while in text input mode. -You can enter -pretty much anything you want on the lines. -The lines are transmitted one by one to the buffer -and held there during the editing session. -You may append as much text as you want, and -.I -when you wish to stop entering text lines you should -type a period as the only character on the line -and press the \s-2RETURN\s0 key. -.R -When you type the period and press \s-2RETURN\s0, -you signal that you want to stop appending text, -and edit responds by allowing -you to exit text input mode and reenter command mode. -Edit will again -prompt you for a command by printing ``:''. -.PP -Leaving append mode does not destroy the text in -the buffer. -You have to leave append -mode to do any of the other kinds of editing, -such as changing, adding, or printing text. -If you type a period as the first character and -type any other character on the same line, -edit will believe you want to remain in append mode -and will not let you out. -As this can be very frustrating, -be sure to type -.B only -the period and the \s-2RETURN\s0 key. -.PP -This is a good place to learn an important -lesson about computers and text: a blank space is -a character as far as a computer is concerned. -If you so much as type a period followed by a blank -(that is, type a period and then the space bar on the keyboard), -you will remain in append mode with the last line of text -being: -.DS I 1i -.B -.ps +2 -\&. -.ps -2 -.R -.DE -Let's say that you enter the lines -(try to type -.B exactly -what you see, including ``thiss''): -.DS I 1i -.B -This is some sample text. -And thiss is some more text. -Text editing is strange, but nice. -\&. -.R -.DE -The last line is the period followed by a \s-2RETURN\s0 -that gets you out of append mode. -.SH -Making corrections -.PP -If you have read a general introduction to \s-2UNIX\s0, -you will recall that it is possible to erase individual -letters that you have typed. -This is done by typing the designated erase character -as many times as there are characters -you want to erase. -.PP -The usual erase character varies from place to place and -user to user.

-Text editing is strange, but nice. -This is text added in Session 2. -It doesn't mean much here, but -it does illustrate the editor. -.DE -Occasionally, you may accidentally -type a character that can't be printed, -which can be done by striking a key -while the \s-2CTRL\s0 key is pressed. -In printing lines, edit uses a special notation to -show the existence of non-printing characters. -Suppose you had introduced the non-printing character ``control-A'' -into the word ``illustrate'' -by accidently pressing the \s-2CTRL\s0 key while -typing ``a''. -This can happen on many terminals -because the \s-2CTRL\s+2 key and the ``A'' key -are beside each other. -If your finger presses between the two keys, -control-A results. -When asked to print the contents of the buffer, -edit would display -.DS I 1i -it does illustr^Ate the editor. -.DE -To represent the control-A, edit shows ``^A''. -The sequence ``^'' followed by a capital -letter stands for the one character -entered by holding down the \s-2CTRL\s0 key and typing the letter -which appears after the ``^''. -We'll soon discuss the commands that can be used -to correct this typing error. -.PP -In looking over the text we see that -``this'' is typed as ``thiss'' in the second line, -a deliberate error so we can learn to make corrections. -Let's correct the spelling. -.SH -Finding things in the buffer -.PP -In order to change something in the buffer we first need to -find it. -We can find ``thiss'' in the text we have -entered by looking at a listing -of the lines. -Physically speaking, we search the lines -of text looking for ``thiss'' and stop searching when -we have found it. -The way to tell edit to search for something -is to type it inside slash marks: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB/thiss/ -.R -.DE -By typing -.B /thiss/ -and pressing \s-1RETURN\s0, -you instruct edit to search for ``thiss''. -If you ask edit to look for a pattern of characters -which it cannot find in the buffer, -it will respond ``Pattern not found''. -When edit finds -the characters ``thiss'', it will print the line of text -for your inspection: -.DS I 1i -And thiss is some more text. -.DE -Edit is now positioned in the buffer at the -line it just printed, -ready to make a change in the line. -.bp -.SH -The current line -.PP -Edit keeps track of the line in the buffer where it is located -at all times during an editing session. -In general, the line that has been most recently -printed, entered, or changed -is the current location in the buffer. -The editor is prepared to make changes -at the current location in the buffer, -unless you direct it to another location. -.PP -In particular, -when you bring a file into the buffer, -you will be located at the last line in the file, -where the editor left off copying the lines -from the file to the buffer. -If your first editing command is ``append'', -the lines you enter are added -to the end of the file, -after the current line \(em -the last line in the file. -.PP -You can refer to your current location in the buffer by the -symbol -period (.) usually known by the name ``dot''. -If you type ``.'' and carriage -return you will be instructing edit to print the current line: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB\s+2\&.\s-2 -.R -And thiss is some more text. -.DE -.PP -If you want to know the number of the current line, -you can type -.B \&.= -and press \s-2RETURN\s+2, -and edit will respond with the line number: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB\s+2.\s-2= -.R -2 -.DE -If you type the number of any line and press \s-2RETURN\s+2, -edit will position you at that line and -print its contents: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB2 -.R -And thiss is some more text. -.DE -You should experiment with these commands -to gain experience in using them to make changes. -.SH -Numbering lines (nu) -.PP -The -.B -number (nu) -.R -command is similar to print, -giving both the number and the text of each printed line. -To see the number and the text of the current line type -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBnu -.R -\0\0\0\0\02\0\0And thiss is some more text. -.DE -Note that the shortest abbreviation for the number command is -``nu'' (and not ``n'', which is used for a different command). -You may specify a range of lines -to be listed by the number command in the same way that lines -are specified for print. -For example, \f31,$nu\f1 lists all lines in the buffer with their -corresponding line numbers. -.SH -Substitute command (s) -.PP -Now that you have found the misspelled word, -you can change it from ``thiss'' to ``this''. -As far as edit is concerned, -changing things is a matter of -substituting one thing for another. -As -.I a -stood for -.I append, -so -.I s -stands for -.I substitute. -We will use the abbreviation ``s'' to reduce the chance -of mistyping the substitute command. -This command will instruct edit to make the change: -.DS I 1i -\f32s/thiss/this/\f1 -.DE -We first indicate the line to be changed, line 2, -and then -type an ``s'' to indicate we want -edit to make a substitution. -Inside the first set of slashes -are the characters that we want to change, -followed by the characters to replace them, -and then a closing slash mark. -To summarize: -.DS I 1i -2s/ \fIwhat is to be changed\fR / \fIwhat to change it to \fR/ -.DE -If edit finds an exact match of the characters to be -changed it will make the change -.B only -in the first occurrence of the characters. -If it does not find the characters -to be changed, it will respond: -.DS I 1i -Substitute pattern match failed -.DE -indicating that your instructions could not be carried out. -When edit does find the characters that you want to change, -it will make the substitution and automatically print -the changed line, so that you can check that the correct substitution -was made. -In the example, -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB2s/thiss/this/ -.R -And this is some more text. -.DE -line 2 (and line 2 only) will be searched for the characters -``thiss'', and when the first exact match is found, ``thiss'' -will be changed to ``this''. -Strictly speaking, it was not necessary above to -specify the number of the line to be changed. -In -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBs/thiss/this/ -.R -.DE -edit will assume that we mean to change -the line where we are currently located (``.''). -In this case, -the command without a line number would have produced the same result -because we were already located -at the line we wished to change. -.PP -For another illustration of the substitute command, -let us choose the line: -.DS I 1i -Text editing is strange, but nice. -.DE -You can make this line a bit more positive -by taking out the characters ``strange, but\ '' so the line -reads: -.DS I 1i -Text editing is nice. -.DE -A command that will first position edit at the desired line -and then make the substitution is: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB/strange/s/strange, but // -.R -.DE -.LP -What we have done here is combine our search with -our substitution. -Such combinations are perfectly legal, -and speed up editing quite a bit -once you get used to them. -That is, you do not necessarily have to use -line numbers to identify a line to edit. -Instead, you may identify the line you want to change -by asking edit to search for a

can get it into the buffer by -typing: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBe text -.R -"text" 6 lines, 171 characters -.DE -The command -.B edit, -which may be abbreviated \fBe\fR, -tells edit that you want -to erase anything that might already be in -the buffer and bring a copy of the file ``text'' into the buffer -for editing. -You may also use the edit (e) command to change files in -the middle of an editing session, -or to give edit the name of a new file that you want to create. -Because the edit command clears the buffer, -you will receive a warning if you try to edit a new file without -having saved a copy of the old file. -This gives you a chance to write the contents of the buffer to disk -before editing the next file. -.SH -Moving text in the buffer (m) -.PP -Edit allows you to move lines of text -from one location in the buffer to another -by means of the -.B move -(\fBm\fR) command. -The first two examples are for illustration only, -though after you have read this Session -you are welcome to return to them for practice. -The command -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB2,4m$ -.R -.DE -directs edit to move lines 2, 3, and 4 -to the end of the buffer ($). -The format for the move command is that you specify -the first line to be moved, the last line to be moved, -the move command ``m'', and the line after which -the moved text is to be placed. -So, -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB1,3m6 -.R -.DE -would instruct edit to move lines 1 through 3 (inclusive) -to a location after line 6 in the buffer. -To move only one line, say, line 4, -to a location in the buffer after line 5, -the command would be ``4m5''. -.PP -Let's move some text using the command: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB5,$m1 -.R -2 lines moved -it does illustrate the editor. -.DE -After executing a command that moves more than one line of the buffer, -edit tells how many lines were affected by the move -and prints the last moved line for your inspection. -If you want to see more than just the last line, -you can then -use the print (p), z, or number (nu) command to view more text. -The buffer should now contain: -.DS I 1i -This is some sample text. -It doesn't mean much here, but -it does illustrate the editor. -And this is some more text. -Text editing is nice. -This is text added in Session 2. -.DE -You can restore the original order by typing: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB4,$m1 -.R -.DE -or, combining context searching and the move command: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB/And this is some/,/This is text/m/This is some sample/ -.R -.DE -(Do not type both examples here!) -The problem with combining context searching -with the move command -is that your chance of making a typing error -in such a long command is greater than -if you type line numbers. -.SH -Copying lines (copy) -.PP -The -.B copy -command -is used to make a second copy of specified lines, -leaving the original lines where they were. -Copy -has the same format as the move command, for example: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB2,5copy $ -.R -.DE -makes a copy of lines 2 through 5, -placing the added lines after the buffer's end ($). -Experiment with the copy command -so that you can become familiar with how it works. -Note that the shortest abbreviation for copy is -\f3co\f1 (and -not the letter ``c'', which has another meaning). -.SH -Deleting lines (d) -.PP -Suppose you want to delete -the line -.DS I 1i -This is text added in Session 2. -.DE -from the buffer. -If you know the number of the line to be deleted, -you can type -that number followed by -\fBdelete\fR or \fBd\fR. -This example deletes line 4, -which is ``This is text added in Session 2.'' -if you typed the commands -suggested so far. -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB4d -.R -It doesn't mean much here, but -.DE -Here ``4'' is the number of the line to be deleted, -and ``delete'' or ``d'' is the command to delete the line. -After executing the delete command, -edit prints the line that has become the current line (``.''). -.PP -If you do not happen to know the line number -you can search for the line and then delete it using this -sequence of commands: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB/added in Session 2./ -.R -This is text added in Session 2. -:\|\fBd -.R -It doesn't mean much here, but -.DE -The ``/added in Session 2./'' -asks edit to locate and print -the line containing the indicated text, -starting its search at the current line -and moving line by line -until it finds the text. -Once you are sure that you have correctly specified the line -you want to delete, -you can enter the delete (d) command. -In this case it is not necessary to -specify a line number before the ``d''. -If no line number is given, -edit deletes the current line (``.''), -that is, the line found by our search. -After the deletion, your buffer should contain: -.DS I 1i -This is some sample text. -And this is some more text. -Text editing is nice. -It doesn't mean much here, but -it does illustrate the editor. -And this is some more text. -Text editing is nice. -This is text added in Session 2. -It doesn't mean much here, but -.DE -To

is some/,/Text editing is nice./d -.R -.DE -.SH -A word or two of caution -.PP -In using the search function to locate lines to -be deleted you should be -.B -absolutely sure -.R -the characters you give as the basis for the search -will take edit to the line you want deleted. -Edit will search for the first -occurrence of the characters starting from where -you last edited \- -that is, from the line you see printed if you type dot (.). -.PP -A search based on too few -characters may result in the wrong lines being deleted, -which edit will do as easily as if you had meant it. -For this reason, it is usually safer -to specify the search and then delete in two separate steps, -at least until you become familiar enough with using the editor -that you understand how best to specify searches. -For a beginner it is not a bad idea to double-check -each command before pressing \s-2RETURN\s+2 to send the command on its way. -.SH -Undo (u) to the rescue -.PP -The -.B -undo (u) -.R -command has the ability to -reverse the effects of the last command that changed the buffer. -To undo the previous command, type -``u'' or ``undo''. -Undo can rescue -the contents of the buffer from many an unfortunate mistake. -However, its powers are not unlimited, -so it is still wise to be reasonably -careful about the commands you give. -.PP -It is possible to undo only commands which -have the power to change the buffer \(em for example, -delete, append, move, copy, substitute, and even undo itself. -The commands write (w) and edit (e), which interact with disk files, -cannot be undone, nor can commands that do not change -the buffer, such as print. -Most importantly, -the -.B only -command that can be reversed by undo -is the -last ``undo-able'' command you typed. -You can use control-H and @ to change -commands while you are typing them, -and undo to reverse the effect of the commands -after you have typed them and pressed \s-2RETURN\s+2. -.PP -To illustrate, -let's issue an undo command. -Recall that the last buffer-changing command we gave deleted -the lines formerly numbered 2 and 3. -Typing undo at this moment will reverse the effects -of the deletion, causing those two lines to be -replaced in the buffer. -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBu -.R -2 more lines in file after undo -And this is some more text. -.DE -Here again, edit informs you if the command affects more -than one line, -and prints -the text of the line which is now ``dot'' (the current line). -.SH -More about the dot (.) and buffer end ($) -.PP -The function assumed by the symbol dot depends on its context. -It can be used: -.IP -1. to exit from append mode; we type dot (and only a dot) on -a line and press \s-2RETURN\s+2; -.IP -2. to refer to the line we are at in the buffer. -.LP -Dot can also be combined with the equal sign to get -the number of the line currently being edited: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB\&.= -.R -.DE -If we type ``\fB.\fR='' we are asking for the number of the line, -and if we type ``\fB.\fR'' we are asking for the text of the line. -.PP -In this editing session and the last, we used the dollar -sign to indicate the end of the buffer -in commands such as print, copy, and move. -The dollar sign as a command asks edit to print the last -line in the buffer. -If the dollar sign is combined with the equal sign (\f3$=\f1) -edit will print the line number corresponding to the -last line in the buffer. -.PP -``\fB.\fR'' and ``$'', then, represent line numbers. -Whenever appropriate, these symbols can be used in -place of line numbers in commands. -For example -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB\s+2.\s-2,$d -.R -.DE -instructs edit to delete all lines from the current line (\fB.\fR) -to the end of the buffer. -.SH -Moving around in the buffer (+ and \-) -.PP -When you are editing -you often want -to go back and re-read a previous line. -You could specify a context search for a line you want to -read if you remember some of its text, -but if you simply want to see what was written a few, say 3, lines -ago, you can type -.DS I 1i -\-3p -.DE -This tells edit to move back to a position 3 lines -before the current line (.) -and print that line. -You can move forward in the buffer similarly: -.DS I 1i -+2p -.DE -instructs edit to print the line that is 2 -ahead of your current position. -.PP -You may use ``+'' and ``\-'' in any command where edit -accepts line numbers. -Line numbers specified with ``+'' or ``\-'' -can be combined to print a range of lines. -The command -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB\-1,+2copy$ -.R -.DE -makes a copy of 4 lines: the current line, the line before it, -and the two after it. -The copied lines will be placed after the last line -in the buffer ($), -and the original lines referred to by ``\-1'' and ``+2'' -remain where they are. -.PP -Try typing only ``\-''; you will move back one line just as -if you had typed ``\-1p''. -Typing the command ``+'' works similarly. -You might also try typing a few plus or minus signs in a row -(such as ``+++'') to see edit's response. -Typing \s-2RETURN\s+2 alone on a line is the equivalent -of typing ``+1p''; it will move you one line ahead in the buffer -and print that line. -.PP -If you are at the last line of the buffer and try -to move further ahead, perhaps by typing a ``+'' or -a carriage return alone on the line, -edit will remind you that you are at the end of the buffer: -.sp -.nf -.ti 1i -At end-of-file -.br -or -.ti 1i -Not that many lines in buffer -.fi -.LP -Similarly, if you try to move to a position before the first line, -edit will print one of these messages: -.sp -.nf -.ti 1i -Nonzero address required on this command -.br -or -.ti 1i -Negative address \- first buffer line is 1 -.fi -.LP -The number associated with a buffer line is the line's ``address'', -in that it can be used to locate the line. -.SH -Changing lines (c) -.PP -You can also delete certain lines and -insert new text in their place. -This can be accomplished easily with the -.B "change (c)" -command. -The change command instructs edit to delete specified lines -and then switch to text input mode to -accept the text that will replace them. -Let's say you want to change the first two lines in the buffer: -.DS I 1i -This is some sample text. -And this is some more text. -.DE -to read -.DS I 1i -This text was created with the \s-2UNIX\s0 text editor. -.DE -To do so, you type: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB1,2c -.R -2 lines changed -.B -This text was created with the \s-2UNIX\s0 text editor. -\s+2\&.\s-2 -.R -: -.DE -In the command -.B 1,2c -we specify that we want to change -the range of lines beginning with 1 and ending with 2 -by giving line numbers as with the print command. -These lines will be deleted. -After you type \s-2RETURN\s+2 to end the change command, -edit notifies you if more than one line will be changed -and places you in text input mode. -Any text typed on the following lines will be inserted into -the position where lines were deleted by the change command. -.B -You will remain in text input mode until you exit in the usual way, -by typing a period alone on a line. -.R -Note that the number of lines added to the buffer need not be -the same as the number of lines deleted. -.sp 1 -.PP -This is the end of the third session on text editing with \s-2UNIX\s0. -.bp -.SH -.ce 1 -\s+2Session 4\s0 -.sp -.PP -This lesson covers several topics, starting with -commands that apply throughout the buffer, -characters with special meanings, -and how to issue \s-2UNIX\s0 commands while in the editor. -The next topics deal with files: -more on reading and writing, -and methods of recovering files lost in a crash. -The final section suggests sources of further information. -.SH -Making commands global (g) -.PP -One disadvantage to the commands we have used for -searching or substituting is that if you -have a number of instances of a word to change -it appears that you have to type the command -repeatedly, once for -each time the change needs to be made. -Edit, however, provides a way to make commands -apply to the entire contents of the buffer \- -the -.B -global (g) -.R -command. -.PP -To print all lines -containing a certain sequence of characters -(say, ``text'') -the command is: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBg/text/p -.R -.DE -The ``g'' instructs edit to -make a global search for all lines -in the buffer containing the characters ``text''. -The ``p'' prints the lines found. -.PP -To issue a global command, start by typing a ``g'' and then a search -pattern identifying -the lines to be affected. -Then, on the same line, type the command to be -executed for the identified lines. -Global substitutions are frequently useful. -For example, -to change all instances of the word ``text'' to the word ``material'' -the command would be a combination of the global search and the -substitute command: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBg/text/s/text/material/g -.R -.DE -Note the ``g'' at the end of the global command, -which instructs edit to change -each and every instance of ``text'' to ``material''. -If you do not type the ``g'' at the end of the command -only the -.I first -instance of ``text'' \fIin each line\fR will be changed -(the normal result of the substitute command). -The ``g'' at the end of the command is independent of the ``g'' -at the beginning. -You may give a command such as: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB5s/text/material/g -.R -.DE -to change every instance of ``text'' in line 5 alone. -Further, neither command will change ``text'' to ``material'' -if ``Text'' begins with a capital rather than a lower-case -.I t. -.PP -Edit does not automatically print the lines modified by a -global command. -If you want the lines to be printed, type a ``p'' -at the end of the global command: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBg/text/s/text/material/gp -.R -.DE -You should be careful -about using the global command in combination with any other \- -in essence, be sure of what you are telling edit to do -to the entire buffer. -For example, -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBg/ /d -.R -72 less lines in file after global -.DE -will delete every line containing a blank anywhere in it. -This could adversely affect -your document, since most lines have spaces between words -and thus would be deleted. -After executing the global command, -edit will print a warning if the command added or deleted more than one line. -Fortunately, the undo command can reverse -the effects of a global command. -You should experiment with the global command -on a small file of text to see what it can do for you. -.SH -More about searching and substituting -.PP -In using slashes to identify a character string -that we want to search for or change, -we have always specified the exact characters. -There is a less tedious way to -repeat the same string of characters. -To change ``text'' to ``texts'' we may type either -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB/text/s/text/texts/ -.R -.DE -as we have done in the past, -or a somewhat abbreviated command: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB/text/s//texts/ -.R -.DE -In this example, the characters to be changed -are not specified \- -there are no characters, not even a space, -between the two slash marks -that indicate what is to be changed. -This lack of characters between the slashes -is taken by the editor to mean -``use the characters we last searched for as the characters to be changed.'' -.PP -Similarly, the last context search may be repeated -by typing a pair of slashes with nothing between them: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB/does/ -.R -It doesn't mean much here, but -:\|\fB// -.R -it does illustrate the editor. -.DE -(You should note that the search command found the characters ``does'' -in the word ``doesn't'' in the first search request.) -Because no characters are specified for the second search, -the editor scans the buffer for the next occurrence of the -characters ``does''. -.PP -Edit normally searches forward through the buffer, -wrapping around from the end of the buffer to the beginning, -until the specified character string is found. -If you want to search in the reverse direction, -use question marks (?) instead of slashes -to surround the characters you are searching for. -.PP -It is also possible -to repeat the last substitution -without having to retype the entire command. -An ampersand (&) used as a command -repeats the most recent substitute command, -using the same search and replacement patterns. -After altering the current line by typing -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBs/text/texts/ -.R -.DE -you type -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB/text/& -.R -.DE -or simply -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB//& -.R -.DE -to make the same change on the next line in the buffer -containing the characters ``text''. -.SH -Special characters -.PP -Two characters have special meanings when -used in specifying searches: ``$'' and ``^''. -``$'' is taken by the editor to mean ``end of the line'' -and is used to identify strings -that occur at the end of a line. -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBg/text.$/s//material./p -.R -.DE -tells the editor to search for all lines ending in ``text.'' -(and nothing else, not even a blank space), -to change each final ``text.'' to ``material.'', -and print the changed lines. -.PP -The symbol ``^'' indicates the beginning of a line. -Thus, -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBs/^/1. / -.R -.DE -instructs the editor to insert ``1.'' and a space at the beginning -of the current line. -.PP -The characters ``$'' and ``^'' have special meanings only in the context -of searching. -At other times, they are ordinary characters. -If you ever need to search for a character that has a special meaning, -you must indicate that the -character is to lose temporarily -its special significance by typing another special character, -the backslash (\\), before it. -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBs/\\\\\&$/dollar/ -.R -.DE -looks for the character ``$'' in the current -line and replaces it by the word ``dollar''. -Were it not for the backslash, the ``$'' would have represented -``the end of the line'' in your search -rather than the character ``$''. -The backslash retains its special significance -unless it is preceded by another backslash. -.SH -Issuing \s-2UNIX\s0 commands from the editor -.PP -After creating several files with the editor, -you may want to delete files -no longer useful to you or ask for a list of your files. -Removing and listing files are not functions of the editor, -and so they require the use of \s-2UNIX\s0 system commands -(also referred to as ``shell'' commands, as -``shell'' is the name of the program that processes \s-2UNIX\s0 commands). -You do not need to quit the editor to execute a \s-2UNIX\s0 command -as long as you indicate that it -is to be sent to the shell for execution. -To use the \s-2UNIX\s0 command -.B rm -to remove the file named ``junk'' type: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB!rm junk -.R -! -: -.DE -The exclamation mark (!) -indicates that the rest of the line is to be processed as a shell command. -If the buffer contents have not been written since the last change, -a warning will be printed before the command is executed: -.DS I 1i -[No write since last change] -.DE -The editor prints a ``!'' when the command is completed. -Other tutorials describe useful features of the system, -of which an editor is only one part. -.SH -Filenames and file manipulation -.PP -Throughout each editing session, -edit keeps track of the name of the file being edited as the -.I "current filename." -Edit remembers as the current filename the name given -when you entered the editor. -The current filename changes whenever the edit (e) command -is used to specify a new file. -Once edit has recorded a current filename, -it inserts that name into any command where a filename has been omitted. -If a write command does not specify a file, -edit, as we have seen, supplies the current filename. -If you are editing a file named ``draft3'' having 283 lines in it, -you can have the editor write onto a different file -by including its name in the write command: -.DS I 1i -:\fB\|w chapter3 -.R -"chapter3" [new file] 283 lines, 8698 characters -.DE -The current filename remembered by the editor -.I -will not be changed as a result of the write command. -.R -Thus, if the next write command -does not specify a name, -edit will write onto the current file (``draft3'') -and not onto the file ``chapter3''. -.SH -The file (f) command -.PP -To ask for the current filename, type -.B file -(or -.B f ). -In response, the editor provides current information about the buffer, -including the filename, your current position, the number of -lines in the buffer, -and the percent of the distance through the file -your current location is. -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBf -.R -"text" [Modified] line 3 of 4 --75%-- -.DE -.\"The expression ``[Edited]'' indicates that the buffer contains -.\"either the editor's copy of the existing file ``text'' -.\"or a file which you are just now creating. -If the contents of the buffer have changed -since the last time the file was written, -the editor will tell you that the file has been ``[Modified]''. -After you save the changes by writing onto a disk file, -the buffer will no longer be considered modified: -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBw -.R -"text" 4 lines, 88 characters -:\|\fBf -.R -"text" line 3 of 4 --75%-- -.DE -.SH -Reading additional files (r) -.PP -The -\f3read (r)\f1 command allows you to add the contents of a file -to the buffer -at a specified location, -essentially copying new lines -between two existing lines. -To use it, specify the line after which the new text will be placed, -the \f3read (r)\f1 command, -and then the name of the file. -If you have a file named ``example'', the command -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB$r example -.R -"example" 18 lines, 473 characters -.DE -reads the file ``example'' -and adds it to the buffer after the last line. -The current filename is not changed by the read command. -.SH -Writing parts of the buffer -.PP -The -.B -write (w) -.R -command can write all or part of the buffer -to a file you specify. -We are already familiar with -writing the entire contents of the -buffer to a disk file. -To write only part of the buffer onto a file, -indicate the beginning and ending lines before the write command, -for example -.DS I 1i -:\|\fB45,$w ending -.R -.DE -Here all lines from 45 through the end of the buffer -are written onto the file named -.I ending. -The lines remain in the buffer -as part of the document you are editing, -and you may continue to edit the entire buffer. -Your original file is unaffected -by your command to write part of the buffer -to another file. -Edit still remembers whether you have saved changes to the buffer -in your original file or not. -.SH -Recovering files -.PP -Although it does not happen very often, -there are times \s-2UNIX\s+2 stops working -because of some malfunction. -This situation is known as a \fIcrash\fR. -Under most circumstances, -edit's crash recovery feature -is able to save work to within a few lines of changes -before a crash (or an accidental phone hang up). -If you lose the contents of an editing buffer in a system crash, -you will normally receive mail when you login that gives -the name of the recovered file. -To recover the file, -enter the editor and type the command -.B recover -(\fBrec\fR), -followed by the name of the lost file. -For example, -to recover the buffer for an edit session -involving the file ``chap6'', the command is: -.DS I 1i -.R -:\|\fBrecover chap6 -.R -.DE -Recover is sometimes unable to save the entire buffer successfully, -so always check the contents of the saved buffer carefully -before writing it back onto the original file. -For best results, -write the buffer to a new file temporarily -so you can examine it without risk to the original file. -Unfortunately, -you cannot use the recover command -to retrieve a file you removed -using the shell command \f3rm\f1. -.SH -Other recovery techniques -.PP -If something goes wrong when you are using the editor, -it may be possible to save your work by using the command -.B preserve -(\fBpre\fR), -which saves the buffer as if the system had crashed. -If you are writing a file and you get the message -``Quota exceeded'', you have tried to use more disk storage -than is allotted to your account. -.I -Proceed with caution -.R -because it is likely that only a part -of the editor's buffer is now present in the file you tried to write. -In this case you should use the shell escape from the editor (!) -to remove some files you don't need and try to write -the file again. -If this is not possible and you cannot find someone to help you, -enter the command -.DS I 1i -:\|\fBpreserve -.R -.DE -and wait for the reply, -.DS I 1i -File preserved. -.DE -If you do not receive this reply, -seek help immediately. -Do not simply leave the editor. -If you do, the buffer will be lost, -and you may not be able to save your file. -If the reply is ``File preserved.'' -you can leave the editor -(or logout) -to remedy the situation. -After a preserve, you can use the recover command -once the problem has been corrected, -or the \fB\-r\fR option of the edit command -if you leave the editor and want to return. -.PP -If you make an undesirable change to the buffer -and type a write command before discovering your mistake, -the modified version will replace any previous version of the file. -Should you ever lose a good version of a document in this way, -do not panic and leave the editor. -As long as you stay in the editor, -the contents of the buffer remain accessible. -Depending on the nature of the problem, -it may be possible -to restore the buffer to a more complete -state with the undo command. -After fixing the damaged buffer, you can again write the file -to disk. -.SH -Further reading and other information -.PP -Edit is an editor designed for beginning and casual users. -It is actually a version of a more powerful editor called -.I ex. -These lessons are intended to introduce you to the editor -and its more commonly-used commands. -We have not covered all of the editor's commands, -but a selection of commands -that should be sufficient to accomplish most of your editing tasks. -You can find out more about the editor in the -.I -Ex Reference Manual, -.R -which is applicable to both -.I ex -and -.I edit. -One way to become familiar with the manual is to begin by reading -the description of commands that you already know. -.bd I 3 -.SH -Using -.I ex -.fl -.bd I -.PP -As you become more experienced with using the editor, -you may still find that edit continues to meet your needs. -However, should you become interested in using -.I ex, -it is easy to switch. -To begin an editing session with -.I ex, -use the name -.B ex -in your command instead of -.B edit. -.PP -Edit commands also work in -.I ex, -but the editing environment is somewhat different. -You should be aware of a few differences -between -.I ex -and -.I edit. -In edit, only the characters ``^'', ``$'', and ``\\'' have -special meanings in searching the buffer -or indicating characters to be changed by a substitute command. -Several additional characters have special -meanings in ex, as described in the -.I -Ex Reference Manual. -.R -Another feature of the edit environment prevents users from -accidently entering two alternative modes of editing, -.I open -and -.I visual, -in which -the editor behaves quite differently from normal command mode. -If you are using ex and you encounter strange behavior, -you may have accidently entered open mode by typing ``o''. -Type the \s-2ESC\s0 key and then a ``Q'' -to get out of open or visual mode

Also if the \s-2TERMCAP\s0 variable contains a pathname (beginning -with a \fB/\fR) then the editor will seek the description of the terminal -in that file (rather than the default /etc/termcap). -If there is a variable \s-2EXINIT\s0 in the environment, then the editor -will execute the commands in that variable, -otherwise if there is a file -.I \&.exrc -in your \s-2HOME\s0 directory -.I ex -reads commands from that file, simulating a -.I source -command. -Option setting commands placed in -\s-2EXINIT\s0 or -.I \&.exrc -will be executed before each editor session. -.PP -A command to enter -.I ex -has the following prototype:\(dg -.FS -\(dg Brackets `[' `]' surround optional parameters here. -.FE -.DS -\fBex\fP [ \fB\-\fP ] [ \fB\-v\fP ] [ \fB\-t\fP \fItag\fP ] [ \fB\-r\fP ] [ \fB\-l\fP ] [ \fB\-w\fP\fIn\fP ] [ \fB\-x\fP ] [ \fB\-R\fP ] [ \fB+\fP\fIcommand\fP ] name ... -.DE -The most common case edits a single file with no options, i.e.: -.DS -\fBex\fR name -.DE -The -.B \- -command line option -option suppresses all interactive-user feedback -and is useful in processing editor scripts in command files. -The -.B \-v -option is equivalent to using -.I vi -rather than -.I ex. -The -.B \-t -option is equivalent to an initial -.I tag -command, editing the file containing the -.I tag -and positioning the editor at its definition. -The -.B \-r -option is used in recovering after an editor or system crash, -retrieving the last saved version of the named file or, -if no file is specified, -typing a list of saved files. -The -.B \-l -option sets up for editing \s-2LISP\s0, setting the -.I showmatch -and -.I lisp -options. -The -.B \-w -option sets the default window size to -.I n, -and is useful on dialups to start in small windows. -The -.B \-x -option causes -.I ex -to prompt for a -.I key , -which is used to encrypt and decrypt the contents of the file, -which should already be encrypted using the same key, -see -.I crypt (1). -The -.B \-R -option sets the -.I readonly -option at the start. -.I Name -arguments indicate files to be edited. -An argument of the form -\fB+\fIcommand\fR -indicates that the editor should begin by executing the specified command. -If -.I command -is omitted, then it defaults to ``$'', positioning the editor at the last -line of the first file initially. Other useful commands here are scanning -patterns of the form ``/pat'' or line numbers, e.g. ``+100'' starting -at line 100. -.NH 1 -File manipulation -.NH 2 -Current file -.PP -.I Ex -is normally editing the contents of a single file, -whose name is recorded in the -.I current -file name. -.I Ex -performs all editing actions in a buffer -(actually a temporary file) -into which the text of the file is initially read. -Changes made to the buffer have no effect on the file being -edited unless and until the buffer contents are written out to the -file with a -.I write -command. -After the buffer contents are written, -the previous contents of the written file are no longer accessible. -When a file is edited, -its name becomes the current file name, -and its contents are read into the buffer. -.PP -The current file is almost always considered to be -.I edited. -This means that the contents of the buffer are logically -connected with the current file name, -so that writing the current buffer contents onto that file, -even if it exists, -is a reasonable action. -If the current file is not -.I edited -then -.I ex -will not normally write on it if it already exists.* -.FS -* The -.I file -command will say ``[Not edited]'' if the current file is not considered -edited. -.FE -.NH 2 -Alternate file -.PP -Each time a new value is given to the current file name, -the previous current file name is saved as the -.I alternate -file name. -Similarly if a file is mentioned but does not become the current file, -it is saved as the alternate file name. -.NH 2 -Filename expansion -.PP -Filenames within the editor may be specified using the normal -shell expansion conventions. -In addition, -the character `%' in filenames is replaced by the -.I current -file name and the character -`#' by the -.I alternate -file name.\(dg -.FS -\(dg This makes it easy to deal alternately with -two files and eliminates the need for retyping the -name supplied on an -.I edit -command after a -.I "No write since last change" -diagnostic is received. -.FE -.NH 2 -Multiple files and named buffers -.PP -If more than one file is given on the command line, -then the first file is edited as described above. -The remaining arguments are placed with the first file in the -.I "argument list." -The current argument list may be displayed with the -.I args -command. -The next file in the argument list may be edited with the -.I next -command. -The argument list may also be respecified by specifying -a list of names to the -.I next -command. -These names are expanded, -the resulting list of names becomes the new argument list, -and -.I ex -edits the first file on the list. -.PP -For saving blocks of text while editing, and especially when editing -more than one file, -.I ex -has a group of named buffers. -These are similar to the normal buffer, except that only a limited number -of operations are available on them. -The buffers have names -.I a -through -.I z.\(dd -.FS -\(dd It is also possible to refer to -.I A -through -.I Z; -the upper case buffers are the same as the lower but commands -append to named buffers rather than replacing -if upper case names are used. -.FE -.NH 2 -Read only -.PP -It is possible to use -.I ex -in -.I "read only" -mode to look at files that you have no intention of modifying. -This mode protects you from accidently overwriting the file. -Read only mode is on when the -.I readonly -option is set. -It can be turned on with the -.B \-R -command line option, -by the -.I view -command line invocation, -or by setting the -.I readonly -option. -It can be cleared by setting -.I noreadonly . -It is possible to write, even while in read only mode, by indicating -that you really know what you are doing. -You can write to a different file, or can use the ! form of write, -even while in read only mode. -.NH 1 -Exceptional Conditions -.NH 2 -Errors and interrupts -.PP -When errors occur -.I ex -(optionally) rings the terminal bell and, in any case, prints an error -diagnostic. If the primary input is from a file, editor processing -will terminate. If an interrupt signal is received, -.I ex -prints ``Interrupt'' and returns to its command level. If the primary -input is a file, then -.I ex -will exit when this occurs. -.NH 2 -Recovering from hangups and crashes -.PP -If a hangup signal is received and the buffer has been modified since -it was last written out, or if the system crashes, either the editor -(in the first case) or the system (after it reboots in the second) will -attempt to preserve the buffer. The next time you log in you should be -able to recover the work you were doing, losing at most a few lines of -changes from the last point before the hangup or editor crash. To -recover a file you can use the -.B \-r -option. If you were editing the file -.I resume, -then you should change -to the directory where you were when the crash occurred, giving the command -.DS -\fBex \-r\fP\fI resume\fP -.DE -After checking that the retrieved file is indeed ok, you can -.I write -it over the previous contents of that file. -.PP -You will normally get mail from the system telling you when a file has -been saved after a crash. The command -.DS -\fBex\fP \-\fBr\fP -.DE -will print a list of the files which have been saved for you. -(In the case of a hangup, -the file will not appear in the list, -although it can be recovered.) -.NH 1 -Editing modes -.PP -.I Ex -has five distinct modes. The primary mode is -.I command -mode. Commands are entered in command mode when a `:' prompt is -present, and are executed each time a complete line is sent. In -.I "text input" -mode -.I ex -gathers input lines and places them in the file. The -.I append, -.I insert, -and -.I change -commands use text input mode. -No prompt is printed when you are in text input mode. -This mode is left by typing a `.' alone at the beginning of a line, and -.I command -mode resumes. -.PP -The last three modes are -.I open -and -.I visual -modes, entered by the commands of the same name, and, within open and -visual modes -.I "text insertion" -mode. -.I Open -and -.I visual -modes allow local editing operations to be performed on the text in the -file. The -.I open -command displays one line at a time on any terminal while -.I visual -works on \s-2CRT\s0 terminals with random positioning cursors, using the -screen as a (single) window for file editing changes. -These modes are described (only) in -.I "An Introduction to Display Editing with Vi." -.NH -Command structure -.PP -Most command names are English words, -and initial prefixes of the words are acceptable abbreviations. -The ambiguity of abbreviations is resolved in favor of the more commonly -used commands.* -.FS -* As an example, the command -.I substitute -can be abbreviated `s' -while the shortest available abbreviation for the -.I set -command is `se'. -.FE -.NH 2 -Command parameters -.PP -Most commands accept prefix addresses specifying the lines in the file -upon which they are to have effect. -The forms of these addresses will be discussed below. -A number of commands also may take a trailing -.I count -specifying the number of lines to be involved in the command.\(dg -.FS -\(dg Counts are rounded down if necessary. -.FE -Thus the command ``10p'' will print the tenth line in the buffer while -``delete 5'' will delete five lines from the buffer, -starting with the current line. -.PP -Some commands take other information or parameters, -this information always being given after the command name.\(dd -.FS -\(dd Examples would be option names in a -.I set -command i.e. ``set number'', -a file name in an -.I edit -command, -a regular expression in a -.I substitute -command, -or a target address for a -.I copy -command, i.e. ``1,5 copy 25''. -.FE -.NH 2 -Command variants -.PP -A number of commands have two distinct variants. -The variant form of the command is invoked by placing an -`!' immediately after the command name. -Some of the default variants may be controlled by options; -in this case, the `!' serves to toggle the default. -.NH 2 -Flags after commands -.PP -The characters `#', `p' and `l' may be placed after many commands.** -.FS -** -A `p' or `l' must be preceded by a blank or tab -except in the single special case `dp'. -.FE -In this case, the command abbreviated by these characters -is executed after the command completes. -Since -.I ex -normally prints the new current line after each change, `p' is rarely necessary. -Any number of `+' or `\-' characters may also be given with these flags. -If they appear, the specified offset is applied to the current line -value before the printing command is executed. -.NH 2 -Comments -.PP -It is possible to give editor commands which are ignored. -This is useful when making complex editor scripts -for which comments are desired. -The comment character is the double quote: ". -Any command line beginning with " is ignored. -Comments beginning with " may also be placed at the ends -of commands, except in cases where they could be confused as part -of text (shell escapes and the substitute and map commands). -.NH 2 -Multiple commands per line -.PP -More than one command may be placed on a line by separating each pair -of commands by a `|' character. -However the -.I global -commands, -comments, -and the shell escape `!' -must be the last command on a line, as they are not terminated by a `|'. -.NH 2 -Reporting large changes -.PP -Most commands which change the contents of the editor buffer give -feedback if the scope of the change exceeds a threshold given by the -.I report -option. -This feedback helps to detect undesirably large changes so that they may -be quickly and easily reversed with an -.I undo. -After commands with more global effect such as -.I global -or -.I visual, -you will be informed if the net change in the number of lines -in the buffer during this command exceeds this threshold. -.NH 1 -Command addressing -.NH 2 -Addressing primitives -.IP \fB.\fR 20 -The current line. -Most commands leave the current line as the last line which they affect. -The default address for most commands is the current line, -thus `\fB.\fR' is rarely used alone as an address. -.IP \fIn\fR 20 -The \fIn\fRth line in the editor's buffer, lines being numbered -sequentially from 1. -.IP \fB$\fR 20 -The last line in the buffer. -.IP \fB%\fR 20 -An abbreviation for ``1,$'', the entire buffer. -.IP \fI+n\fR\ \fI\-n\fR 20 -An offset relative to the current buffer line.\(dg -.FS -\(dg -The forms `.+3' `+3' and `+++' are all equivalent; -if the current line is line 100 they all address line 103. -.FE -.IP \fB/\fIpat\fR\fB/\fR\ \fB?\fIpat\fR\fB?\fR 20 -Scan forward and backward respectively for a line containing \fIpat\fR, a -regular expression (as defined below). The scans normally wrap around the end -of the buffer. -If all that is desired is to print the next line containing \fIpat\fR, then -the trailing \fB/\fR or \fB?\fR may be omitted. -If \fIpat\fP is omitted or explicitly empty, then the last -regular expression specified is located.\(dd -.FS -\(dd The forms \fB\e/\fP and \fB\e?\fP scan -using the last regular expression used in a scan; after a substitute -\fB//\fP and \fB??\fP would scan using the substitute's regular expression. -.FE -.IP \fB\(aa\(aa\fP\ \fB\(aa\fP\fIx\fP 20 -Before each non-relative motion of the current line `\fB.\fP', -the previous current line is marked with a tag, subsequently referred to as -`\(aa\(aa'. -This makes it easy to refer or return to this previous context. -Marks may also be established by the -.I mark -command, using single lower case letters -.I x -and the marked lines referred to as -`\(aa\fIx\fR'. -.NH 2 -Combining addressing primitives -.PP -Addresses to commands consist of a series of addressing primitives, -separated by `,' or `;'. -Such address lists are evaluated left-to-right. -When addresses are separated by `;' the current line `\fB.\fR' -is set to the value of the previous addressing expression -before the next address is interpreted. -If more addresses are given than the command requires, -then all but the last one or two are ignored. -If the command takes two addresses, the first addressed line must -precede the second in the buffer.\(dg -.FS -\(dg Null address specifications are permitted in a list of addresses, -the default in this case is the current line `.'; -thus `,100' is equivalent to `\fB.\fR,100'. -It is an error to give a prefix address to a command which expects none. -.FE -.NH 1 -Command descriptions -.PP -The following form is a prototype for all -.I ex -commands: -.DS -\fIaddress\fR \fBcommand\fR \fI! parameters count flags\fR -.DE -All parts are optional; the degenerate case is the empty command which prints -the next line in the file.

this position is -called the \fIcurrent line\fP. -Generally, commands that change the -contents of the buffer print the -new current line at the end of their -execution. -.PP -Most commands can be preceded by one or two -line-number addresses which indicate the lines -to be affected. -If one number is given the command operates on -that line only; if two, on an inclusive range -of lines. -Commands that can take line-number prefixes also -assume default prefixes if none are given. -The default assumed by each command is designed -to make it convenient to use in many instances -without any line-number prefix. -For the most part, a command used without a -prefix operates on the current line, -though exceptions to this rule should be noted. -The \fIprint\fP command -by itself, for instance, causes -one line, the current line, to be -printed at the terminal. -.PP -The summary shows the number of line addresses -that can be -prefixed to each command as well as -the defaults assumed if they are omitted. -For example, -.I (.,.) -means that up to 2 line-numbers may be given, -and that if none is given the -command operates on the current line. -(In the address prefix notation, ``.'' stands -for the current line and ``$'' stands for -the last line of the buffer.) -If no such notation appears, no -line-number prefix may be used. -.PP -Some commands take trailing -information; -only -the more important instances of this -are mentioned in the summary. -.sp 0.25v -.LP -.B -Open and Visual Modes -.PP -.R -Besides command and text input modes, -.I ex -and -.I edit -provide on some CRT terminals other modes of editing, -.I open -and -.I visual . -In these modes the cursor can -be moved to individual words -or characters in a line. -The commands then given are very different -from the standard editor commands;

interfaces to the same program, -and it is possible to switch back and forth during an edit session. -.Nm View -is the equivalent of using the -.Fl R -(read-only) option of -.Nm \&vi . -.Pp -This manual page is the one provided with the -.Nm nex/nvi -versions of the -.Nm ex/vi -text editors. -.Nm Nex/nvi -are intended as bug-for-bug compatible replacements for the original -Fourth Berkeley Software Distribution (4BSD) -.Nm \&ex -and -.Nm \&vi -programs. -For the rest of this manual page, -.Nm nex/nvi -is used only when it's necessary to distinguish it from the historic -implementations of -.Nm ex/vi . -.Pp -This manual page is intended for users already familiar with -.Nm ex/vi . -Anyone else should almost certainly read a good tutorial on the -editor before this manual page. -If you're in an unfamiliar environment, and you absolutely have to -get work done immediately, read the section after the options -description, entitled -.Dq "Fast Startup" . -It's probably enough to get you going. -.Pp -The following options are available: -.Bl -tag -width Ds -.It Fl c -Execute -.Ar cmd -immediately after starting the edit session. -Particularly useful for initial positioning in the file, however -.Ar cmd -is not limited to positioning commands. -This is the POSIX 1003.2 interface for the historic -.Dq "+cmd" -syntax. -.Nm Nex/nvi -supports both the old and new syntax. -.It Fl e -Start editing in ex mode, as if the command name were -.Nm \&ex . -.It Fl F -Don't copy the entire file when first starting to edit. -(The default is to make a copy in case someone else modifies -the file during your edit session.) -.It Fl R -Start editing in read-only mode, as if the command name was -.Nm view , -or the readonly option was set. -.It Fl r -Recover the specified files, or, if no files are specified, -list the files that could be recovered. -If no recoverable files by the specified name exist, -the file is edited as if the -.Fl r -option had not been specified. -.It Fl s -Enter batch mode; applicable only to -.Nm \&ex -edit sessions. -Batch mode is useful when running -.Nm \&ex -scripts. -Prompts, informative messages and other user oriented message -are turned off, -and no startup files or environment variables are read. -This is the POSIX 1003.2 interface for the historic -.Dq \&\- -argument. -.Nm \&Nex/nvi -supports both the old and new syntax. -.It Fl t -Start editing at the specified tag. -(See -.Xr ctags 1 ). -.It Fl w -Set the initial window size to the specified number of lines. -.It Fl v -Start editing in vi mode, as if the command name was -.Nm \&vi -or -.Nm view . -.It Fl X -Reserved for X11 interfaces. -.Em "No X11 support is currently implemented." -.El -.Pp -Command input for -.Nm ex/vi -is read from the standard input. -In the -.Nm \&vi -interface, it is an error if standard input is not a terminal. -In the -.Nm \&ex -interface, if standard input is not a terminal, -.Nm \&ex -will read commands from it regardless, however, the session will be a -batch mode session, exactly as if the -.Fl s -option had been specified. -.Pp -.Nm Ex/vi -exits 0 on success, and greater than 0 if an error occurs. -.Sh FAST STARTUP -This section will tell you the minimum amount that you need to -do simple editing tasks using -.Nm \&vi . -If you've never used any screen editor before, you're likely to have -problems even with this simple introduction. -In that case you should find someone that already knows -.Nm \&vi -and have them walk you through this section. -.Pp -.Nm \&Vi -is a screen editor. -This means that it takes up almost the entire screen, displaying part -of the file on each screen line, except for the last line of the screen. -The last line of the screen is used for you to give commands to -.Nm \&vi , -and for -.Nm \&vi -to give information to you. -.Pp -The other fact that you need to understand is that -.Nm \&vi -is a modeful editor, i.e. you are either entering text or you -are executing commands, and you have to be in the right mode -to do one or the other. -You will be in command mode when you first start editing a file. -There are commands that switch you into input mode. -There is only one key that takes you out of input mode, -and that is the key. -(Key names are written using less-than and greater-than signs, e.g. - means the -.Dq escape -key, usually labeled -.Dq esc -on your terminal's keyboard.) -If you're ever confused as to which mode you're in, -keep entering the key until -.Nm \&vi -beeps at you. -(Generally, -.Nm \&vi -will beep at you if you try and do something that's not allowed. -It will also display error messages.) -.Pp -To start editing a file, enter the command -.Dq Li "vi file_name" . -The command you should enter as soon as you start editing is -.Dq Li ":set verbose showmode" . -This will make the editor give you verbose error messages and display -the current mode at the bottom of the screen. -.Pp -The commands to move around the file are: -.Bl -tag -width XXXX -compact -.It Sy h -Move the cursor left one character. -.It Sy j -Move the cursor down one line. -.It Sy k -Move the cursor up one line. -.It Sy l -Move the cursor right one character. -.It Sy -The cursor arrow keys should work, too. -.It Sy /text -Search for the string -.Dq text -in the file, and move the cursor to its first character. -.El -.Pp -The commands to enter new text are: -.Bl -tag -width XXXX -compact -.It Sy a -Append new text, -.Em after -the cursor. -.It Sy i -Insert new text, -.Em before -the cursor. -.It Sy o -Open a new line below the line the cursor is on, and start -entering text. -.It Sy O -Open a new line above the line the cursor is on, and start -entering text. -.It Sy -Once you've entered input mode using the one of the -.Sy \&a , -.Sy \&i , -.Sy \&O , -or -.Sy \&o -commands, use -.Sy -to quit entering text and return to command mode. -.El -.Pp -The commands to copy text are: -.Bl -tag -width XXXX -compact -.It Sy yy -Copy the line the cursor is on. -.It Sy p -Append the copied line after the line the cursor is on. -.El -.Pp -The commands to delete text are: -.Bl -tag -width XXXX -compact -.It Sy dd -Delete the line the cursor is on. -.It Sy x -Delete the character the cursor is on. -.El -.Pp -The commands to write the file are: -.Bl -tag -width XXXX -compact -.It Sy :w -Write the file back to the file with the name that you originally used -as an argument on the -.Nm \&vi -command line. -.It Sy :w file_name -Write the file back to the file with the name -.Dq file_name . -.El -.Pp -The commands to quit editing and exit the editor are: -.Bl -tag -width XXXX -compact -.It Sy :q -Quit editing and leave vi (if you've modified the file, but not -saved your changes, -.Nm \&vi -will refuse to quit). -.It Sy :q! -Quit, discarding any modifications that you may have made. -.El -.Pp -One final caution. -Unusual characters can take up more than one column on the screen, -and long lines can take up more than a single screen line. -The above commands work on -.Dq physical -characters and lines, i.e. they affect the entire line no matter -how many screen lines it takes up and the entire character no matter -how many screen columns it takes up. -.Sh VI COMMANDS -The following section describes the commands available in the command -mode of the -.Nm \&vi -editor. -In each entry below, the tag line is a usage synopsis for the command

-.\" -.SH 1 "Ex Description" -.pp -The following words have special meanings for -.CO ex -commands. -.KY "" -.IP "" -The end-of-file character is used to scroll the screen in the -.CO ex -editor. -This character is normally -.LI , -however, whatever character is set for the current terminal is used. -.KY "line" -.IP "line" -A single-line address, given in any of the forms described in the -section entitled -.QB "Ex Addressing" . -The default for -.LI line -is the current line. -.KY "range" -.IP "range" -A line, or a pair of line addresses, separated by a comma or semicolon. -(See the section entitled -.QB "Ex Addressing" -for more information.) -The default for range is the current line -.i only , -i.e. -.QT \&.,. . -A percent sign -.PQ % -stands for the range -.QT 1,$ . -The starting address must be less than, or equal to, the ending address. -.KY "count" -.IP "count" -A positive integer, specifying the number of lines to be affected by -the command; the default is 1. -Generally, a count past the end-of-file may be specified, e.g. the -command -.QT "p 3000" -in a 10 line file is acceptable, and will print from the current line -through the last line in the file. -.KY "flags" -.IP "flags" -One or more of the characters -.QQ # , -.QQ p , -and -.QQ l . -When a command that accepts these flags completes, the addressed line(s) -are written out as if by the corresponding -.CO # , -.CO l -or -.CO p -commands. -In addition, any number of -.QT + -or -.QT \- -characters can be specified before, after, or during the flags, in which -case the line written is not necessarily the one affected by the command, -but rather the line addressed by the offset address specified. -The default for -.LI flags -is none. -.KY "file" -.IP "file" -A pattern used to derive a pathname; the default is the current file. -File names are subjected to normal -.XR sh 1 -word expansions. -.pp -Anywhere a file name is specified, it is also possible to use -the special string -.QT /tmp . -This will be replaced with a temporary file name which can be used -for temporary work, e.g. -.QT ":e /tmp" -creates and edits a new file. -.pp -If both a count and a range are specified for commands that use either, -the starting line for the command is the -.i last -line addressed by the range, and -.LI count - 1 -subsequent lines are affected by the command, e.g. the command -.QT 2,3p4 -prints out lines 3, 4, 5 and 6. -.pp -When only a line or range is specified, with no command, the implied -command is either a -.CO list , -.CO number -or -.CO print -command. -The command used is the most recent of the three commands to have been -used (including any use as a flag). -If none of these commands have been used before, the -.CO print -command is the implied command. -When no range or count is specified and the command line is a blank line, -the current line is incremented by 1 and then the current line is displayed. -.pp -Zero or more whitespace characters may precede or follow the addresses, -count, flags, or command name. -Any object following a command name (such as buffer, file, etc.), -that begins with an alphabetic character, -should be separated from the command name by at least one whitespace -character. -.pp -Any character, including -.LI , -.QT % -and -.QT # -retain their literal value when preceded by a backslash. -.SH 1 "Ex Commands" -.pp -The following section describes the commands available in the -.CO ex -editor. -In each entry below, the tag line is a usage synopsis for the command. -.pp -Each command can be entered as the abbreviation -(those characters in the synopsis command word preceding the -.QQ [ -character), -the full command (all characters shown for the command word, -omitting the -.QQ [ -and -.QQ ] -characters), -or any leading subset of the full command down to the abbreviation. -For example, the args command (shown as -.QT ar[gs] -in the synopsis) -can be entered as -.QT ar , -.QT arg -or -.QT args . -.pp -Each -.CO ex -command described below notes the new current line after it -is executed, as well as any options that affect the command. -.KY DOUBLEQUOTE -.IP """" -A comment. -Command lines beginning with the double-quote character -.PQ """" -are ignored. -This permits comments in editor scripts and startup files. -.KY "" -.IP "" -Scroll the screen. -Write the next N lines, where N is the value of the -.OP scroll -option. -The command is the end-of-file terminal character, which may be -different on different terminals. -Traditionally, it is the -.LI -key. -.sp -Historically, the -.CO eof -command ignored any preceding count, and the -.LI -character was ignored unless it was entered as the first character -of the command. -This implementation treats it as a command -.i only -if entered as the first character of the command line, and otherwise -treats it as any other character. -.SS -.SP Line: -Set to the last line written. -.SP Options: -None. -.SE -.KY "!" -.IP "! argument(s)" -.Ip "[range]! argument(s)" -Execute a shell command, or filter lines through a shell command. -In the first synopsis, the remainder of the line after the -.QT ! -character is passed to the program named by the -.OP shell -option, as a single argument. -.sp -Within the rest of the line, -.QT % -and -.QT # -are expanded into the current and alternate pathnames, respectively. -The character -.QT ! -is expanded with the command text of the previous -.CO ! -command. -(Therefore, the command -.CO !! -repeats the previous -.CO ! -command.) -The special meanings of -.QT % , -.QT # , -and -.QT ! -can be overridden by escaping them with a backslash. -If no -.CO ! -or -.CO :! -command has yet been executed, it is an error to use an unescaped -.QT ! -character. -The -.CO ! -command does -.i not -do shell expansion on the strings provided as arguments. -If any of the above expansions change the command the user entered, -the command is redisplayed at the bottom of the screen. -.sp -.CO Ex -then executes the program named by the -.OP shell -option, with a -.b \-c -flag followed by the arguments (which are bundled into a single argument). -.sp -The -.CO ! -command is permitted in an empty file. -.sp -If the file has been modified since it was last completely written, -the -.Co ! -command will warn you. -.sp -A single -.QT ! -character is displayed when the command completes. -.sp -In the second form of the -.CO ! -command, the remainder of the line after the -.QT ! -is passed to the program named by the -.OP shell -option, as described above. -The specified lines are passed to the program as standard input, -and the standard and standard error output of the program replace -the original lines. -.SS -.SP Line: -Unchanged if no range was specified, otherwise set to the first

buffer is -.QT @ -or -.QT * , -the last buffer executed is used. -.KY < -.IP "[range] <[< ...] [count] [flags]" -Shift lines left or right. -The specified lines are shifted to the left (for the -.CO < -command) or right (for the -.CO > -command), by the number of columns specified by the -.OP shiftwidth -option. -Only leading whitespace characters are deleted when shifting left; -once the first column of the line contains a nonblank character, -the -.CO shift -command will succeed, but the line will not be modified. -.sp -If the command character -.CO < -or -.CO > -is repeated more than once, the command is repeated once for each -additional command character. -.SS -.SP Line: -If the current line is set to one of the lines that are affected -by the command, it is unchanged. -Otherwise, it is set to the first nonblank character of the lowest -numbered line shifted. -.SP Options: -Affected by the -.OP shiftwidth -option. -.SE -.KY = -.IP "[line] = [flags]" -Display the

-Shift right. -The specified lines are shifted to the right by the number of columns -specified by the -.OP shiftwidth -option, by inserting tab and space characters. -Empty lines are not changed. -.sp -If the command character -.QT > -is repeated more than once, the command is repeated once for each -additional command character. -.SS -.SP Line: -Set to the last line modified by the command. -.SP Options: -None. -.SE -.KY abbrev -.IP "ab[brev] lhs rhs" -Add an abbreviation to the current abbreviation list. -In -.CO vi , -if -.LI lhs -is entered such that it is preceded and followed by

-.\" -.SH 1 "Set Options" -.pp -There are a large number of options that may be set (or unset) to -change the editor's behavior. -This section describes the options, their abbreviations and their -default values. -.pp -In each entry below, the first part of the tag line is the full name -of the option, followed by any equivalent abbreviations. -(Regardless of the abbreviations, it is only necessary to use the -minimum number of characters necessary to distinguish an abbreviation -from all other commands for it to be accepted, in -.EV nex nvi . -Historically, only the full name and the official abbreviations -were accepted by -.EV ex vi . -Using full names in your startup files and environmental variables will -probably make them more portable.) -The part in square brackets is the default value of the option. -Most of the options are boolean, i.e. they are either on or off, -and do not have an associated value. -.pp -Options apply to both -.CO ex -and -.CO vi -modes, unless otherwise specified. -.pp -For information on modifying the options or to display the options and -their current values, see the -.QQ set -command in the section entitled -.QB "Ex Commands" . -.KY altwerase -.IP "altwerase [off]" -.CO Vi -only. -Change how -.CO vi -does word erase during text input. -When this option is set, text is broken up into three classes: -alphabetic, numeric and underscore characters, other nonblank -characters, and blank characters. -Changing from one class to another marks the end of a word. -In addition, the class of the first character erased is ignored -(which is exactly what you want when erasing pathname components). -.KY autoindent -.IP "autoindent, ai [off]" -If this option is set, whenever you create a new line (using the -.CO vi -.CO A , -.CO a , -.CO C , -.CO c , -.CO I , -.CO i , -.CO O , -.CO o , -.CO R , -.CO r , -.CO S , -and -.CO s -commands, or the -.CO ex -.CO append , -.CO change , -and -.CO insert -commands) the new line is automatically indented to align the cursor with -the first nonblank character of the line from which you created it. -Lines are indented using tab characters to the extent possible (based on -the value of the -.OP tabstop -option) and then using space characters as necessary. -For commands inserting text into the middle of a line, any blank characters -to the right of the cursor are discarded, and the first nonblank character -to the right of the cursor is aligned as described above. -.sp -The indent characters are themselves somewhat special. -If you do not enter more characters on the new line before moving to -another line, or entering -.LI , -the indent character will be deleted and the line will be empty. -For example, if you enter -.LI -twice in succession, -the line created by the first -.LI -will not have any characters in it, -regardless of the indentation of the previous or subsequent line. -.sp -Indent characters also require that you enter additional erase characters -to delete them. -For example, -if you have an indented line, containing only blanks, the first -.LI -character you enter will erase up to end of the indent characters, -and the second will erase back to the beginning of the line. -(Historically, only the -.CO -key would erase the indent characters. -Both the -.CO -key and the usual erase keys work in -.CO nvi .) -In addition, if the cursor is positioned at the end of the indent -characters, the keys -.QT 0 -will erase all of the indent characters for the current line, -resetting the indentation level to 0. -Similarly, the keys -.QT ^ -will erase all of the indent characters for the current line, -leaving the indentation level for future created lines unaffected. -.sp -Finally, if the -.OP autoindent -option is set, the -.CO S -and -.CO cc -commands change from the first nonblank of the line to the end of the -line, instead of from the beginning of the line to the end of the line. -.KY autoprint -.IP "autoprint, ap [off]" -.CO Ex -only. -Cause the current line to be automatically displayed after the -.CO ex -commands -.CO < , -.CO > , -.CO copy , -.CO delete , -.CO join , -.CO move , -.CO put , -.CO t , -.CO Undo , -and -.CO undo . -This automatic display is suppressed during -.CO global -and -.CO vglobal -commands, and for any command where optional flags are used to explicitly -display the line. -.KY autowrite -.IP "autowrite, aw [off]" -If this option is set, the -.CO vi -.CO ! , -.CO ^^ , -.CO ^] -and -.CO -commands, and the -.CO ex -.CO edit , -.CO next , -.CO rewind , -.CO stop , -.CO suspend , -.CO tag , -.CO tagpop , -and -.CO tagtop -commands automatically write the current file back to the current file name -if it has been modified since it was last written. -If the write fails, the command fails and goes no further. -.sp -Appending the optional force flag character -.QT ! -to the -.CO ex -commands -.CO next , -.CO rewind , -.CO stop , -.CO suspend , -.CO tag , -.CO tagpop , -and -.CO tagtop -stops the automatic write from being attempted. -.sp -(Historically, the -.CO next -command ignored the optional force flag.) -Note, the -.CO ex -commands -.CO edit , -.CO quit , -.CO shell , -and

specify a colon separated list of directories -which are used as path prefixes for any relative path names used as -arguments for the -.CO cd -command. -The value of this option defaults to the value of the environmental -variable -.LI CDPATH -if it is set, otherwise to the current directory. -For compatibility with the POSIX 1003.2 shell, the -.CO cd -command does -.i not -check the current

-.\" -.SH 1 "Vi Description" -.pp -.CO Vi -takes up the entire screen to display the edited file, -except for the bottom line of the screen. -The bottom line of the screen is used to enter -.CO ex -commands, and for -.CO vi -error and informational messages. -If no other information is being displayed, -the default display can show the current cursor row and cursor column, -an indication of whether the file has been modified, -and the current mode of the editor. -See the -.OP ruler , -.OP showdirty -and -.OP showmode -options for more information. -.pp -Empty lines do not have any special representation on the screen, -but lines on the screen that would logically come after the end of -the file are displayed as a single tilde -.PQ ~ -character. -To differentiate between empty lines and lines consisting of only -whitespace characters, use the -.OP list -option. -Historically, implementations of -.CO vi -have also displayed some lines as single asterisk -.PQ @ -characters. -These were lines that were not correctly displayed, i.e. lines on the -screen that did not correspond to lines in the file, or lines that did -not fit on the current screen. -.CO Nvi -never displays lines in this fashion. -.pp -.CO Vi -is a modeful editor, i.e. it has two modes, -.QQ command -mode and -.QQ "text input" -mode. -When -.CO vi -first starts, it is in command mode. -There are several commands that change -.CO vi -into text input mode. -The -.LI -character is used to resolve the text input into the file, -and exit back into command mode. -In -.CO vi -command mode, the cursor is always positioned on the last column of -characters which take up more than one column on the screen. -In -.CO vi -text insert mode, the cursor is positioned on the first column of -characters which take up more than one column on the screen. -.pp -Generally, if the cursor line and cursor column are not on the screen, -then the screen is scrolled (if the target cursor is close) or repainted -(if the target cursor is far away) so that the cursor is on the screen. -If the screen is scrolled, it is moved a minimal amount, and the cursor -line will usually appear at the top or bottom of the screen. -In the screen is repainted, the cursor line will appear in the center of -the screen, unless the cursor is sufficiently close to the beginning or -end of the file that this is not possible. -If the -.OP leftright -option is set, the screen may be scrolled or repainted in a horizontal -direction as well as in a vertical one. -.pp -A major difference between the historical -.CO vi -presentation and -.CO nvi -is in the scrolling and screen oriented position commands, -.CO , -.CO , -.CO , -.CO , -.CO , -.CO , -.CO H , -.CO L -and -.CO M . -In historical implementations of -.CO vi , -these commands acted on physical (as opposed to logical, or screen) -lines. -For lines that were sufficiently long in relation to the size of the -screen, this meant that single line scroll commands might repaint the -entire screen, scrolling or screen positioning command might not change -the screen or move the cursor at all, and some lines simply could not -be displayed, even though -.CO vi -would edit the file that contained them. -In -.CO nvi , -these commands act on logical, i.e. screen lines. -You are unlikely to notice any difference unless you are editing files -with lines significantly longer than a screen width. -.pp -.CO Vi -keeps track of the currently -.QQ "most attractive" -cursor position. -Each command description (for commands that can change the current -cursor position), -specifies if the cursor is set to a specific location in the line, -or if it is moved to the -.QQ "most attractive cursor position" . -The latter means that the cursor is moved to the cursor position -that is vertically as close as possible to the current cursor -position. -If the current line is shorter than the cursor position -.CO vi -would select, the cursor is positioned on the last character in the line. -(If the line is empty, the cursor is positioned on the first column -of the line.) -If a command moves the cursor to the most attractive position, -it does not alter the current cursor position, and a subsequent -movement will again attempt to move the cursor to that position. -Therefore, although a movement to a line shorter than the currently -most attractive position will cause the cursor to move to the end of -that line, a subsequent movement to a longer line will cause the -cursor to move back to the most attractive position. -.pp -In addition, the -.CO $ -command makes the end of each line the most attractive cursor position -rather than a specific column. -.pp -Each -.CO vi -command described below notes where the cursor ends up after it is -executed. -This position is described in terms of characters on the line, i.e. -.QQ "the previous character" , -or, -.QQ "the last character in the line" . -This is to avoid needing to continually refer to on what part of the -character the cursor rests. -.pp -The following words have special meaning for -.CO vi -commands. -.KY "previous context" -.IP "previous context" -The position of the cursor before the command which caused the -last absolute movement was executed. -Each -.CO vi -command described in the next section that is considered an -absolute movement is so noted. -In addition, specifying -.i any -address to an -.CO ex -command is considered an absolute movement. -.KY "motion" -.IP "motion" -A second -.CO vi -command can be used as an optional trailing argument to the -.CO vi -.CO \&! , -.CO \&< , -.CO \&> , -.CO \&c , -.CO \&d , -.CO \&y , -and (depending on the -.OP tildeop -option) -.CO \&~ -commands. -This command indicates the end of the region of text that's affected by -the command. -The motion command may be either the command character repeated (in -which case it means the current line) or a cursor movement command. -In the latter case, the region affected by the command is from the -starting or stopping cursor position which comes first in the file, -to immediately before the starting or stopping cursor position which -comes later in the file. -Commands that operate on lines instead of using beginning and ending -cursor positions operate on all of the lines that are wholly or -partially in the region. -In addition, some other commands become line oriented depending on -where in the text they are used. -The command descriptions below note these special cases. -.sp -The following commands may all be used as motion components for -.CO vi -commands: -.sp -.ne 12v -.ft C -.TS -r r r r. - - $ -% ' ( ) -+ , - / -0 ; ? B -E F G H -L M N T -W [[ ]] ^ -\&_ ` b e -f h j k -l n t w -{ | } -.TE -.ft R -.sp -The optional count prefix available for some of the -.CO vi -commands that take motion commands, or the count

Vi -is a screen oriented text editor. -.CO Ex -is a line-oriented text editor. -.CO Ex -and -.CO vi -are different interfaces to the same program, -and it is possible to switch back and forth during an edit session. -.CO View -is the equivalent of using the -.b \-R -(read-only) option of -.CO vi . -.pp -This reference manual is the one provided with the -.EV nex nvi -versions of the -.EV ex vi -text editors. -.EV Nex nvi -are intended as bug-for-bug compatible replacements for the original -Fourth Berkeley Software Distribution (4BSD) -.EV ex vi -programs. -This reference manual is accompanied by a traditional-style manual page. -That manual page describes the functionality found in -.EV ex vi -in far less detail than the description here. -In addition, it describes the system interface to -.EV ex vi , -e.g. command line options, session recovery, signals, -environmental variables, and similar things. -.pp -This reference is intended for users already familiar with -.EV ex vi . -Anyone else should almost certainly read a good tutorial on the -editor first. -If you are in an unfamiliar environment, -and you absolutely have to get work done immediately, -see the section entitled -.QB "Fast Startup" -in the manual page. -It is probably enough to get you started. -.pp -There are a few features in -.EV nex nvi -that are not found in historic versions of -.EV ex vi . -Some of the more interesting of those features are briefly described -in the section entitled -.QB "Additional Features" -near the end of this document. -For the rest of this document, -.EV nex nvi -is used only when it is necessary to distinguish it from the historic -implementations of -.EV ex vi . -.pp -Future versions of this software will be periodically made available -by anonymous ftp, and can be retrieved from -.LI ftp.cs.berkeley.edu , -in the directory -.LI ucb/4bsd . -.SH 1 "Startup Information" -.pp -.EV Ex vi -interprets one of two possible environmental variables and reads up to -three of five possible files during startup. -The variables and files are expected to contain -.CO ex -commands, not -.CO vi -commands. -In addition, they are interpreted -.i before -the file to be edited is read, and therefore many -.CO ex -commands may not be used. -Generally, any command that requires output to the screen or that -needs a file upon which to operate, will cause an error if included -in a startup file or environmental variable. -.pp -Because the -.CO ex -command set supported by -.EV nex nvi -is a superset of the command set supported by most historical -implementations of -.CO ex , -.EV nex nvi -can use the startup files created for the historical implementations, -but the converse may not be true. -.pp -If the -.b \-s -(the historic \- option) -is specified, or if standard input is redirected from a file, -all environmental variables and startup files are ignored. -.pp -Otherwise, startup files and environmental variables are handled -in the following order: -.np -The file -.LI /etc/vi.exrc -is read, -as long as it is owned by root or the effective user ID of the user. -.np -The environmental variable -.LI NEXINIT -(or the variable -.LI EXINIT , -if -.LI NEXINIT -is not set) is interpreted. -.np -If neither -.LI NEXINIT -or -.LI EXINIT -was set, and the -.LI HOME -environmental variable is set, the file -.LI $HOME/.nexrc -(or the file -.LI $HOME/.exrc , -if -.LI $HOME/.nexrc -does not exist) is read, -as long as the effective user ID of the user is root or is the same as -the owner of the file. -.np -If the -.OP exrc -option was turned on by one of the previous startup information -sources, the file -.LI \&.nexrc -(or the file -.LI \&.exrc , -if -.LI \&.nexrc -does not exist) is read, as long as the effective user ID of the user -is the same as the owner of the file. -.pp -No startup file is read if it is writable by anyone other than its owner. -.pp -It is not an error for any of the startup environmental variables or files -not to exist. -.pp -Once all environmental variables are interpreted, -and all startup files are read, -the first file to be edited is read in (or a temporary file is created). -Then, any commands specified using the -.b \-c -option are executed, in the context of that file. -.SH 1 Recovery -.pp -There is no recovery program for -.EV nex nvi , -nor does -.EV nex nvi -run setuid. -Recovery files are created readable and writable by the owner only. -Users may recover any file which they can read, -and the superuser may recover any edit session. -.pp -Edit sessions are backed by files in the directory named by the -.OP recdir -option (the directory -.LI /var/tmp/vi.recover -by default), and are named -.QC vi.XXXXXX , -where -.QC XXXXXX -is a number related to the process ID. -When a file is first modified, -a second recovery file containing an email message for the user is created, -and is named -.QC recover.XXXXXX , -where, again, -.QC XXXXXX -is associated with the process ID. -Both files are removed at the end of a normal edit session, -but will remain if the edit session is abnormally terminated -or the user runs the -.CO ex -.CO preserve -command. -.pp -The -.OP recdir -option may be set in either the user's or system's startup information, -changing the recovery directory. -(Note, however, that if a memory based file system is used as the backup -directory, each system reboot will delete all of the recovery files! -The same caution applies to directories such as -.LI /tmp -which are cleared of their contents by a system reboot, or -.LI /usr/tmp -which is periodically cleared of old files on many systems.) -.pp -The recovery directory should be owned by root, or at least by a pseudo-user. -In addition, if directory -.QQ sticky-bit -semantics are available, the directory should have the sticky-bit -set so that files may only be removed by their owners. -The recovery directory must be read, write, and executable by any user, -i.e. mode 1777. -.pp -If the recovery directory does not exist, -.EV ex vi -will attempt to create it. -This can result in the recovery directory being owned by a normal user, -which means that that user will be able to remove other user's recovery -and backup files. -This is annoying, but is not a security issue as the user cannot -otherwise access or modify the files. -.pp -The recovery file has all of the necessary information in it to enable the -user to recover the edit session. -In addition, it has all of the necessary email headers for -.XR sendmail 8 . -When the system is rebooted, all of the files in -.LI /var/tmp/vi.recover -named -.QC recover.XXXXXX -should be sent to their owners, by email, using the -.b \-t -option of -.CO sendmail -(or a similar mechanism in other mailers). -If -.EV ex vi -receives a hangup (SIGHUP) signal, or the user executes the -.CO ex -.CO preserve -command, -.EV ex vi -will automatically email the recovery information to the user. -.pp -If your system does not have the -.CO sendmail -utility (or a mailer program which supports its interface) -the source file -.LI nvi/common/recover.c -will have to be modified to use your local mail delivery programs. -Note, if -.EV nex nvi -is changed to use another mailer, -it is important to remember that the owner of the file given to -the mailer is the -.EV nex nvi -user, so nothing in the file should be trusted as it may have been -modified in an effort to compromise the system. -.pp -Finally, the owner execute bit is set on backup files when they are -created, and unset when they are first modified, e.g. backup files -that have no associated email recovery file will have this bit set. -(There is also a small window where empty files can be created and -not yet have this bit set. -This is due to the method in which the files are created.) -Such files should be deleted when the system reboots. -.pp -A simple way to do this cleanup is to insert the following Bourne -shell script into your -.LI /etc/rc.local -(or other startup) file. -The script should work with the historic Bourne shell, -a POSIX 1003.2 shell or the Korn shell. -(A copy of this script is included as -.LI nvi/install/recover.script -in the -.EV nex nvi -distribution.) -.sp -.(b -.ft C -.so ../../install/recover.script -.ft R -.)b -.sp -.pp -If you are not using the default value for the -.OP recdir -option, be sure to substitute the value you're using for the -.LI RECDIR -value in the recovery script. -.pp -If the path of your system's -.CO sendmail -program (or whatever mailer you're using) is not -.LI /usr/lib/sendmail , -be sure to substitute the correct pathname for the -.LI SENDMAIL -value in the recovery script. -Consult the manual page for details on recovering preserved or -aborted editing sessions. -.SH 1 "Sizing the Screen" -.pp -The size of the screen can be set in a number of ways. -.EV Ex vi -takes the following steps until values are obtained for both the -number of rows and number of columns in the screen. -.np -If the environmental variable -.LI LINES -exists, -it is used to specify the number of rows in the screen. -.np -If the environmental variable -.LI COLUMNS -exists, -it is used to specify the number of columns in the screen. -.np -The TIOCGWINSZ -.XR ioctl 2 -is attempted on the standard error file descriptor. -.np -The termcap entry (or terminfo entry on System V machines) -is checked for the -.QQ li -entry (rows) and the -.QQ co -entry (columns). -.np -The number of rows is set to 24, and the number of columns is set to 80. -.pp -If a window change size signal (SIGWINCH) is received, -the new window size is retrieved using the TIOCGWINSZ -.XR ioctl 2 -call, and all other information is ignored. -.SH 1 "Character Display" -.pp -In both -.CO ex -and -.CO vi -printable characters as defined by -.XR isprint 3 -are displayed using the local character set. -.pp -Non-printable characters, for which -.XR iscntrl 3 -returns true, and which are less than octal \e076, -are displayed as the string -.QT ^ , -where -.LI -is the character that is the original character's value offset from the -.QT @ -character. -For example, the octal character \e001 is displayed as -.QT ^A . -If -.XR iscntrl 3 -returns true for the octal character \e177, -it is displayed as the string -.QT ^? . -All other characters are displayed as either hexadecimal values, -in the form -.QT "0x ... 0x" , -or as octal values, in the form -.QT "\e ... \e" . -The display of unknown characters is based on the value of the -.OP octal -option. -.pp -In -.CO vi -command mode, the cursor is always positioned on the last column of -characters which take up more than one column on the screen. -In -.CO vi -text input mode, the cursor is positioned on the first column of -characters which take up more than one column on the screen. -.SH 1 "Multiple Screens" -.pp -.CO Nvi -supports multiple screens by dividing the window into regions. -It also supports stacks of screens by permitting the user to change -the set of screens that are currently displayed. -.pp -The command -.CO split -divides the current screen into two regions of approximately equal -size. -If a list of files are specified as arguments to the -.CO split -command, the list of files to be edited is initialized as if the -.CO next -command had been used. -If no files are specified, the new screen will begin by editing the same -file as the previous screen. -.pp -When more than one screen is editing a file, changes in any screen are -reflected in all other screens editing the same file. -Exiting any screen without saving any changes (or explicitly discarding -them) is permitted until the last screen editing the file is exited. -.pp -The -.CO resize -command permits resizing of individual screens. -Screens may be grown, shrunk or set to an absolute number of rows. -.pp -The -.CO ^W -command is used to switch between screens. -Each -.CO ^W -moves to the next lower screen in the window, or to the first screen -in the window if there are no lower screens. -.pp -The -.CO bg -command -.QQ backgrounds -the current screen. -The screen disappears from the window, -and the rows it occupied are taken over by a neighboring screen. -It is an error to attempt to background the only screen in the window. -.pp -The -.CO "display screens" -command displays the names of the files associated with the current -backgrounded screens in the window. -.pp -The -.CO "fg [file]" -command -.QQ foregrounds -the first screen in the list of backgrounded screens that is -associated with its argument. -If no file argument is specified, the first screen on the list is -foregrounded. -Foregrounding consists of backgrounding the current screen, -and replacing its space in the window with the foregrounded screen. -.pp -If the last screen in the window is exited, and there are backgrounded -screens, the first screen on the list of backgrounded screens takes over -the window. -.SH 1 "Regular Expressions and Replacement Strings" -.pp -Regular expressions are used in line addresses, -as the first part of the -.CO ex -.CO substitute , -.CO global , -and -.CO vglobal -commands, and in search patterns. -.pp -The regular expressions supported by -.EV ex vi -are, by default, the Basic Regular Expressions (BRE's) described in the -IEEE POSIX Standard 1003.2. -The -.OP extended -option causes all regular expressions to be interpreted as the Extended -Regular Expressions (ERE's) described by the same standard. -(See -.XR re_format 7 -for more information.) -Generally speaking, BRE's are the Regular Expressions found in -.XR ed 1 -and -.XR grep 1 , -and ERE's are the Regular Expressions found in -.XR egrep 1 . -.pp -The following is not intended to provide a description of Regular -Expressions. -The information here only describes strings and characters which -have special meanings in the -.EV ex vi -version of RE's, -or options which change the meanings of characters that normally -have special meanings in RE's. -.np -An empty RE (e.g. -.QT // -or -.QT ?? -is equivalent to the last RE used. -.np -The construct -.QT \e< -matches the beginning of a word. -.np -The construct -.QT \e> -matches the end of a word. -.np -The character -.QT ~ -matches the replacement part of the last -.CO substitute -command. -.pp -When the -.OP magic -option is -.i not -set, the only characters with special meanings are a -.QT ^ -character at the beginning of an RE, a -.QT $ -character at the end of an RE, and the escaping character -.QT \e . -The characters -.QT \&. , -.QT * , -.QT [ -and -.QT ~ -are treated as ordinary characters unless preceded by a -.QT \e ; -when preceded by a -.QT \e -they regain their special meaning. -.pp -Replacement strings are the second part of a -.CO substitute -command. -.pp -The character -.QT & -(or -.QT \e& -if the -.OP magic -option is -.i not -set) in the replacement string stands for the text matched by the RE -that is being replaced. -The character -.QT ~ -(or -.QT \e~ -if the -.OP magic -option is -.i not -set) stands for the replacement part of the previous -.CO substitute -command. -It is only valid after a -.CO substitute -command has been performed. -.pp -The string -.QT \e# , -where -.QT # -is an integer value from 1 to 9, stands for the text matched by -the portion of the RE enclosed in the -.QT # 'th -set of escaped parentheses, e.g. -.QT \e( -and -.QT \e) . -For example, -.QT "s/abc\e(.*\e)def/\e1/" -deletes the strings -.QT abc -and -.QT def -from the matched pattern. -.pp -The strings -.QT \el , -.QT \eu , -.QT \eL -and -.QT \eU -can be used to modify the case of elements in the replacement string. -The string -.QT \el -causes the next character to be converted to lowercase; -the string -.QT \eu -behaves similarly, but converts to uppercase -(e.g. -.LI s/abc/\eU&/ -replaces the string -.LI abc -with -.LI ABC ). -The strings -.QT \eL -causes characters up to the end of the string or the next occurrence -of the strings -.QT \ee -or -.QT \eE -to be converted to lowercase; -the string -.QT \eU -behaves similarly, but converts to uppercase. -.pp -If the entire replacement pattern is -.QT % , -then the last replacement pattern is used again. -.pp -In -.CO vi , -inserting a -.LI -into the replacement string will cause -the matched line to be split into two lines at that point. -(The -.LI -will be discarded.) -.SH 1 "General Editor Description" -.pp -When -.CO ex -or -.CO vi -are executed, -the text of a file is read (or a temporary file is created), -and then all editing changes happen within the context of the -copy of the file. -.i "No changes affect the actual file until the file is written out" , -either using a write command or another command which is affected by the -.OP autowrite -option. -.pp -All files are locked (using the -.XR flock 2 -or -.XR fcntl 2 -interfaces) during the edit session, -to avoid inadvertently making modifications to multiple copies of the file. -If a lock cannot be obtained for a file because it is locked by another -process, the edit session is read-only (as if the -.OP readonly -option or the -.b \-R -flag had been specified). -If a lock cannot be obtained for other reasons, the edit session will -continue, but the file status information -(see the -.CO -command) will reflect this fact. -.pp -Both -.CO ex -and -.CO vi -are modeful editors, i.e. they have two modes, -.QQ command -mode and -.QQ "text input" -mode. -The former is intended to permit you to enter commands which modifies -already existing text. -The latter is intended to permit you to enter new text. -When -.CO ex -first starts running, it is in command mode, and usually displays a prompt -(see the -.OP prompt -option for more information). -The prompt is a single colon -.PQ : -character. -There are three commands that switch -.CO ex -into text input mode: -.CO append , -.CO change -and -.CO insert . -Once in input mode, entering a line containing only a single period -.PQ \&. -terminates text input mode and returns to command mode, -where the prompt is redisplayed. -.pp -When -.CO vi -first starts running, it is in command mode as well. -There are eleven commands that switch -.CO vi -into text input mode: -.CO A , -.CO a , -.CO C , -.CO c , -.CO I , -.CO i , -.CO O , -.CO o , -.CO R , -.CO S -and -.CO s . -Once in input mode, entering an -.LI -character terminates text input mode and returns to command mode. -.pp -The following words have special meanings in both the -.CO ex -and -.CO vi -command descriptions: -.KY -.IP -The interrupt character is used to interrupt the current operation. -Normally -.LI , -whatever character is set for the current terminal is used. -.KY "" -.IP "" -The literal next character is used to escape the subsequent character -from any special meaning. -This character is always -.LI . -If the terminal is not set up to do XON/XOFF flow control, -then -.LI -is used to mean literal next as well. -.KY "current pathname" -.IP "current pathname" -The pathname of the file currently being edited by vi. -When the percent character -.PQ % -appears in a file name entered as part of an -.CO ex -command argument, it is replaced by the current pathname. -(The -.QT % -character can be escaped by preceding it with a backslash.) -.KY "alternate pathname" -.IP "alternate pathname" -The name of the last file name mentioned in an -.CO ex -command, or, -the previous current pathname if the last file mentioned -becomes the current file. -When the hash mark character -.PQ # -appears in a file name entered as part of an -.CO ex -command argument, it is replaced by the alternate pathname. -(The -.QT # -character can be escaped by preceding it with a backslash.) -.KY buffer -.IP buffer -One of a number of named areas for saving copies of text. -Commands that change or delete text can save the changed or deleted -text into a specific buffer, for later use, if the command allows -it (i.e. the -.CO ex -.CO change -command cannot save the changed text in a named buffer). -Buffers are named with a single character, preceded by a double quote, -e.g. -.LI """" . -Historic implementations of -.EV ex vi -limited -.LI -to the alphanumeric characters; -.EV nex nvi -permits the use of any character. -.sp -Buffers named by uppercase characters are the same as buffers -named by lowercase characters, e.g. the buffer named by the -English character -.QT A -is the same as the buffer named by the character -.QT a , -with the exception that, if the buffer contents are being changed (as -with a text deletion or -.CO vi -.CO change -command), the text is -.i appended -to the buffer, instead of replacing the current contents. -.sp -The buffers named by the numeric characters (in English, -.QT 1 -through -.QT 9 ), -are special, in that if at least one line is changed or deleted in -the file, -(or a command changes or deletes a region that crosses a line boundary) -a copy of the text is placed into the numeric buffer -.QT 1 , -regardless of the user specifying another buffer in which to save it. -Before this copy is done, the previous contents of buffer -.QT 1 -are moved into buffer -.QT 2 , -.QT 2 -into buffer -.QT 3 , -and so on. -The contents of buffer -.QT 9 -are discarded. -In -.CO vi , -text may be explicitly stored into the numeric buffers. -In this case, the buffer rotation described above occurs before the -replacement of the buffer's contents. -(Text cannot be explicitly stored into the numeric buffers in -.CO ex -because of ambiguities that this would cause in the -.CO ex -command syntax.) -.sp -When a -.CO vi -command synopsis shows both a -.LI [buffer] -and a -.LI [count] , -they may be presented in any order. -.sp -Finally, all buffers are either -.QQ line -or -.QQ character -oriented. -All -.CO ex -commands which store text into buffers are line oriented. -Some -.CO vi -commands which store text into buffers are line oriented, -and some are character oriented; the description for each applicable -.CO vi -command notes whether text copied into buffers using the command -is line or character oriented. -In addition, the -.CO vi -command -.CO "display buffers" -displays the current orientation for each buffer. -Generally, the only importance attached to this orientation is that -if the buffer is subsequently inserted into the text, line oriented -buffers create new lines for each of the lines they contain, and -character oriented buffers create new lines for any lines -.i other -than the first and last lines they contain. -The first and last lines are inserted into the text at the current -cursor position, becoming part of the current line. -If there is more than one line in the buffer, however, the current -line itself will be split. -.KY "unnamed buffer" -.IP "unnamed buffer" -The unnamed buffer is a text storage area which is used by commands -that take a buffer as an argument, when no buffer is specified by -the user. -There is no way to explicitly reference this buffer. -.oh 'Nvi/Nex Reference (Vi Commands)''USD:13-%' -.eh 'USD:13-%''Nvi/Nex Reference (Vi Commands)' -.so vi.cmd.roff -.oh 'Nvi/Nex Reference''USD:13-%' -.eh 'USD:13-%''Nvi/Nex Reference' -.SH 1 "Ex Addressing" -.pp -Addressing in -.CO ex -(and when -.CO ex -commands are executed from -.CO vi ) -relates to the current line. -In general, the current line is the last line affected by a command. -The exact effect on the current line is discussed under the description -of each command. -When the file contains no lines, the current line is zero. -.pp -Addresses are constructed by one or more of the following methods: -.np -The address -.QT \&. -refers to the current line. -.np -The address -.QT $ -refers to the last line of the file. -.np -The address -.QT N , -where -.LI N -is a positive number, refers to the N-th line of the file. -.np -The address -.QT ' -or -.QT ` -refers to the line marked with the name -.LI . -(See the -.CO k -or -.CO m -commands for more information on how to mark lines.) -.np -A regular expression (RE) enclosed by slashes -.PQ / -is an address, -and it refers to the first line found by searching forward from the line -.i after -the current line toward the end of the file, and stopping at the -first line containing a string matching the RE. -(The trailing slash can be omitted at the end of the command line.) -.sp -If no RE is specified, i.e. the pattern is -.QT // , -the last RE used in any command is used in the search. -.sp -If the -.OP extended -option is set, the RE is handled as an extended RE, not a basic RE. -If the -.OP wrapscan -option is set, the search wraps around to the beginning of the file -and continues up to and including the current line, so that the entire -file is searched. -.sp -The form -.QT \e/ -is accepted for historic reasons, -and is identical to -.QT // . -.np -An RE enclosed in question marks -.PQ ? -addresses the first line found by searching backward from the line -.i preceding -the current line, toward the beginning of the file and stopping at the -first line containing a string matching the RE. -(The trailing question mark can be omitted at the end of a command line.) -.sp -If no RE is specified, i.e. the pattern is -.QT ?? , -the last RE used in any command is used in the search. -.sp -If the -.OP extended -option is set, the RE is handled as an extended RE, not a basic RE. -If the -.OP wrapscan -option is set, the search wraps around from the beginning of the file to -the end of the file and continues up to and including the current line, -so that the entire file is searched. -.sp -The form -.QT \e? -is accepted for historic reasons, and is identical to -.QT ?? . -.np -An address followed by a plus sign -.PQ + -or a minus sign -.PQ - -followed by a number is an offset address and refers to the address -plus (or minus) the indicated number of lines. -If the address is omitted, the addition or subtraction is done with -respect to the current line. -.np -An address of -.QT + -or -.QT \- -followed by a number is an offset from the current line. -For example, -.QT \-5 -is the same as -.QT \&.\-5 . -.np -An address ending with -.QT + -or -.QT - -has 1 added to or subtracted from the address, respectively. -As a consequence of this rule and of the previous rule, the address -.QT \- -refers to the line preceding the current line. -Moreover, trailing -.QT + -and -.QT \- -characters have a cumulative effect. -For example, -.QT ++\-++ -refers to the current line plus

interesting of those features are as follows: -.IP "8-bit clean data, large lines, files" -.EV Nex nvi -will edit any format file. -Line lengths are limited by available memory, -and file sizes are limited by available disk space. -The -.CO vi -text input mode command -.CO -can insert any possible character value into the text. -.IP "Split screens" -The -.CO split -command divides the screen into multiple editing regions. -The -.CO -command rotates between the foreground screens. -The -.CO resize -command can be used to grow or shrink a particular screen. -.IP "Background and foreground screens" -The -.CO bg -command backgrounds the current screen, and the -.CO fg -command foregrounds backgrounded screens. -The -.CO display -command can be used to list the background screens. -.\".IP "Shell screens" -.\"The -.\".CO ":sc[ript] [file ...]" -.\"command runs a shell in the screen. -.\"Editing is unchanged, with the exception that a \fC\fP -.\"enters the current line (stripped of any prompt) as input to the -.\"shell. -.IP "Tag stacks" -Tags are now maintained in a stack. -The -.CO -command returns to the previous tag location. -The -.CO tagpop -command returns to the most recent tag location by default, or, -optionally to a specific tag number in the tag stack, -or the most recent tag from a specified file. -The -.CO display -command can be used to list the tags stack. -The -.CO tagtop -command returns to the top of the tag stack. -.IP "New displays" -The -.CO display -command can be used to display the current buffers, the backgrounded -screens, and the tags stack. -.IP "Infinite undo" -Changes made during an edit session may be rolled backward and forward. -A -.CO \&. -command immediately after a -.CO u -command continues either forward or backward depending on whether the -.CO u -command was an undo or a redo. -.IP "Usage information" -The -.CO exusage -and -.CO viusage -commands provide usage information for all of the -.CO ex -and -.CO vi -commands by default, or, optionally, for a specific command or key. -.IP "Extended Regular Expressions" -The -.CO extended -option causes Regular Expressions to be interpreted as as Extended -Regular Expressions, (i.e. \fIegrep\fP(1) style Regular Expressions). -.IP "Word search" -The -.CO -command searches for the word referenced by the cursor. -.IP "Number increment" -The -.CO \&# -command increments or decrements the number referenced by the cursor. -.IP "Previous file" -The -.CO previous -command edits the previous file from the argument list. -.IP "Left-right scrolling" -The -.CO leftright -option causes -.CO nvi -to do left-right screen scrolling, instead of the traditional -.CO vi -line wrapping. -.bp -.SH 1 Index -.lp -.2c +0.5i 3 -.ta \n($luR -.nf -.so index.so -.fi -.bp 2 -.1c -.ce 1

There are a -few commands listed in the original document that I was unable -to test either because I do not speak \fBlisp\fR, because they -required programs we don't have, or because I wasn't able to make -them work. In these cases I left the command out. The commands -listed in this document have been tried and are known to work. -It is expected that prospective users of this document will read -it once to get the flavor of everything that \fBvi\fR can do -and then use it as a reference document.

In this document control characters will -be denoted using the \fIupper case\fR character, but -^ and ^ are equivalent. That is, for -example, \fB<^D>\fR is equal to \fB<^d>\fR. -The most common character abbreviations -used in this list are as follows: -.VL 8 -.IP 8 -escape, octal 033 -.IP 8 -carriage return, ^M, octal 015 -.IP 8 -linefeed ^J, octal 012 -.IP 8 -newline, ^J, octal 012 (same as linefeed) -.IP 8 -backspace, ^H, octal 010 -.IP 8 -tab, ^I, octal 011 -.IP 8 -bell, ^G, octal 07 -.IP 8 -formfeed, ^L, octal 014 -.IP 8 -space, octal 040 -.IP 8 -delete, octal 0177 -.LE -.sp 1 -.NH 1 -Basics -.LP -To run \fBvi\fR the shell variable \fBTERM\fR must be defined and -exported to your environment. -How you do this depends on which shell you are using. -You can tell which shell you have by the character it -prompts you for commands with. -The Bourne shell prompts with `$', and the C shell prompts with `%'. -For these examples, we will suppose -that you are using an HP 2621 terminal, whose termcap name is ``2621''. -.NH 2 -Bourne Shell -.LP -To manually set your terminal type to 2621 you would type: -.DS -TERM=2621 -export TERM -.DE -.PP -There are various ways of having this automatically or -semi-automatically done when you log in. -Suppose you usually dial in on a 2621. -You want to tell this to the machine, but still have it -work when you use a hardwired terminal. -The recommended way, if you have the -.B tset -program, is to use the sequence -.DS -tset \-s \-d 2621 > tset$$ -\&. tset$$ -rm tset$$ -.DE -in your .login (for csh) or the same thing using `.' instead of `source' -in your .profile (for sh). -The above line says that if you are dialing in you are on a 2621, -but if you are on a hardwired terminal it figures out your terminal -type from an on-line list. -.NH 2 -The C Shell -.LP -To manually set your terminal type to 2621 you would type: -.DS -setenv TERM 2621 -.DE -.PP -There are various ways of having this automatically or -semi-automatically done when you log in. -Suppose you usually dial in on a 2621. -You want to tell this to the machine, but still have it -work when you use a hardwired terminal. -The recommended way, if you have the -.B tset -program, is to use the sequence -.DS -tset \-s \-d 2621 > tset$$ -source tset$$ -rm tset$$ -.DE -in your .login.* -.FS -* On a version 6 system -without environments, the invocation of tset -is simpler, just add the line ``tset \-d 2621'' -to your .login or .profile. -.FE -The above line says that if you are dialing in you are on a 2621, -but if you are on a hardwired terminal it figures out your terminal -type from an on-line list. -.NH 1 -Normal Commands -.LP -\fBVi\fR is a visual editor with a window on the file. What -you see on the screen is \fBvi\fR's current notion of -what your file will contain, -(at this point in the file), -when it is written out. -Most commands do not cause any change in the screen until the -complete command is typed. Should you get confused while -typing a command, you can abort the command by typing an - character. You will know you are back to command level -when you hear a .

Mnemonic: \fBG\fRo-to -.LP -.B NOTE: -The next four commands (^D, ^U, ^F, ^B) -are not true motion commands, in that they -cannot be used as the object of commands such as delete or change. -.IP "[cnt]^D" 16 -Move the cursor down in the file by "cnt" lines (or the last "cnt" -if a new count isn't given. The initial default is half a page.) The -screen is simultaneously scrolled up. Mnemonic: \fBD\fRown -.IP "[cnt]^U" 16 -Move the cursor up in the file by "cnt" lines. The screen is simultaneously -scrolled down. Mnemonic: \fBU\fRp -.IP "[cnt]^F" 16 -Move the cursor to the next page. A count moves that many pages. -Two lines of the previous page are kept on the screen for continuity if -possible.

This command -works best inside \fBnroff\fR documents. It understands two sets of -\fBnroff\fR macros, \fB\-ms\fR and \fB\-mm\fR, for which the -commands ".IP", ".LP", ".PP", ".QP", "P", as well as the nroff command ".bp" -are considered to be paragraph delimiters. -A blank line also delimits a paragraph. -The \fBnroff\fR macros that it accepts as paragraph delimiters is -adjustable. See \fBparagraphs\fR under the \fBSet Commands\fR section. -.IP "[cnt]{" 16 -Move the cursor backwards to the beginning of a paragraph. -.IP "]]" 16 -Move the cursor to the next "section", where a section is defined by -two sets of \fBnroff\fR macros, \fB\-ms\fR and \fB\-mm\fR, in which -".NH", ".SH", and ".H" delimit a section. A line beginning with a -sequence, or a line beginning with a "{" are also considered to -be section delimiters. The last option makes it -useful for finding the beginnings of C functions. -The \fBnroff\fR macros that are used for section delimiters can be adjusted. -See \fBsections\fR under the \fBSet Commands\fR section. -.IP "[[" 16 -Move the cursor backwards to the beginning of a section. -.IP "%" 16 -Move the cursor to the matching parenthesis -or brace. This is very useful in C or lisp code. If the -cursor is sitting on a \fB( ) {\fR or \fB}\fR the cursor -is moved to the matching character at the other end of the -section. If the cursor is not sitting on a brace or a -parenthesis, \fBvi\fR searches forward until it finds one -and then jumps to the match mate. -.IP "[cnt]H" 16 -If there is no count move the cursor to the top left position on the screen. -If there is a count, then move the cursor to the beginning of the line -"cnt" lines from the top of the screen. Mnemonic: \fBH\fRome -.IP "[cnt]L" 16 -If there is no count move the cursor to the beginning -of the last line on the screen. -If there is a count, then move the cursor to the beginning of the line -"cnt" lines from the bottom of the screen. Mnemonic: \fBL\fRast -.IP "M" 16 -Move the cursor to the beginning of the middle line on the screen. -Mnemonic: \fBM\fRiddle -.IP "m" 16 -This command does not move the cursor, but it \fBmarks\fR the place -in the file and the character "" becomes the label for referring -to this location in the file. See the next two commands. Mnemonic: -\fBm\fRark -.B NOTE: -The mark command is not a motion, and cannot be used as the target -of commands such as delete. -.IP "\(aa" 16 -Move the cursor to the beginning of the line that is marked with the label -"". -.IP "\(ga" 16 -Move the cursor to the exact position on the line that was marked with -with the label "". -.IP "\(aa\(aa" 16 -Move the cursor back to the beginning of the line where it was before the -last "non-relative" move. A "non-relative" move is something such as a -search or a jump to a specific line in the file, rather than moving the -cursor or scrolling the screen. -.IP "\(ga\(ga" 16 -Move the cursor back to the exact spot on the line where it was located -before the last "non-relative" move. -.LE -.NH 2 -Searches -.LP -The following commands allow you to search for items in a file. -.VL 16 -.IP [cnt]f{chr} 16 -.sp 1 -Search forward on the line for the next or "cnt"'th occurrence of -the character "chr".

Mnemonic: \fBf\fRind character -.IP [cnt]F{chr} 16 -.sp 1 -Search backwards on the line for the next or "cnt"'th occurrence of -the character "chr". The cursor is placed \fBat\fR the character -of interest. -.IP [cnt]t{chr} 16 -.sp 1 -Search forward on the line for the next or "cnt"'th occurrence of -the character "chr". The cursor is placed \fBjust preceding\fR -the character of interest. Mnemonic: move cursor up \fBt\fRo character -.IP [cnt]T{chr} 16 -.sp 1 -Search backwards on the line for the next or "cnt"'th occurrence of -the character "chr". The cursor is placed \fBjust preceding\fR -the character of interest. -.IP "[cnt];" 16 -Repeat the last "f", "F", "t" or "T" command. -.IP "[cnt]," 16 -Repeat the last "f", "F", "t" or "T" command, but in the opposite -search direction. This is useful if you overshoot. -.IP "[cnt]/[string]/" 16 -.br -Search forward for the next occurrence of "string". -Wrap around at the end of the file -does occur. -The final \fB\fR is not required. -.IP "[cnt]?[string]?" 16 -.br -Search backwards for the next occurrence of "string". If a count is -specified, the count becomes the new window size. Wrap around at the beginning -of the file does occur. -The final \fB\fR is not required. -.IP n 16 -Repeat the last /[string]/ or ?[string]? search. Mnemonic: \fBn\fRext -occurrence. -.IP N 16 -Repeat the last /[string]/ or ?[string]? search, but in the reverse -direction. -.IP ":g/[string]/[editor command]" 16 -.sp 1 -Using the \fB:\fR syntax it is possible to do global searches ala the -standard UNIX "ed" editor. -.LE -.NH 2 -Text Insertion -.LP -The following commands allow for the insertion of text. All multicharacter -text insertions are terminated with an character. -The last change -can always be \fBundone\fR by typing a \fBu\fR. -The text insert in insertion mode can contain newlines. -.VL 16 -.IP a{text} 16 -Insert text immediately following the cursor position. -Mnemonic: \fBa\fRppend -.IP A{text} 16 -Insert text at the end of the current line. -Mnemonic: \fBA\fRppend -.IP i{text} 16 -Insert text immediately preceding the cursor position. -Mnemonic: \fBi\fRnsert -.IP I{text} 16 -Insert text at the beginning of the current line. -.IP o{text} 16 -Insert a new line after the line on which the cursor appears and -insert text there. Mnemonic: \fBo\fRpen new line -.IP O{text} 16 -Insert a new line preceding the line on which the cursor appears -and insert text there. -.LE -.NH 2 -Text Deletion -.LP -The following commands allow the user to delete text in various ways. -All changes can always be \fBundone\fR by typing the \fBu\fR command. -.VL 16 -.IP "[cnt]x" 16 -Delete the character or characters starting at the cursor position. -.IP "[cnt]X" 16 -Delete the character or characters starting at the character preceding -the cursor position. -.IP "D" 16 -Deletes the remainder of the line starting at the cursor. -Mnemonic: \fBD\fRelete the rest of line -.IP "[cnt]d{motion}" 16 -.br -Deletes one or more occurrences of the specified motion. -Any motion from sections 4.1 and 4.2 can be used here. -The d can be stuttered (e.g. [cnt]dd) to delete cnt lines. -.LE -.NH 2 -Text Replacement -.LP -The following commands allow the user to simultaneously delete and -insert new text. All such actions can be \fBundone\fR by typing -\fBu\fR following the command. -.VL 16 -.IP "r" 16 -Replaces the character at the current cursor position with . This -is a one character replacement. No is required for termination. -Mnemonic: \fBr\fReplace character -.IP "R{text}" 16 -Starts overlaying the characters on the screen with whatever you type. -It does not stop until an is typed. -.IP "[cnt]s{text}" 16 -Substitute for "cnt" characters beginning at the current cursor -position. A "$" will appear at the position in the text where the -"cnt"'th character appears so you will know how much you are erasing. -Mnemonic: \fBs\fRubstitute -.IP "[cnt]S{text}" 16 -Substitute for the entire current line (or lines). If no count is given, -a "$" appears at the end of the current line. If a count of more than -1 is given, all the lines to be replaced are deleted before the insertion -begins. -.IP "[cnt]c{motion}{text}" 16 -.br -Change the specified "motion" by replacing it with the -insertion text. A "$" will appear at the end of the last item -that is being deleted unless the deletion involves whole lines. -Motion's can be any motion from sections 4.1 or 4.2. -Stuttering the c (e.g. [cnt]cc) changes cnt lines. -.LE -.NH 2 -Moving Text -.LP -\fBVi\fR provides a number of ways of moving chunks of text around. -There are nine buffers into which each piece of text which is deleted -or "yanked" is put in addition to the "undo" buffer. -The most recent deletion or yank is in the "undo" buffer and also -usually in buffer -1, the next most recent in buffer 2, and so forth. Each new deletion -pushes down all the older deletions. Deletions older than 9 -disappear. There is also -a set of named registers, a-z, into which text can optionally -be placed. If any delete or replacement type command is preceded -by \fB"\fR, that named buffer will contain the text deleted -after the command is executed. For example, \fB"a3dd\fR will delete -three lines starting at the current line and put them in buffer \fB"a\fR.* -.FS -* Referring to an upper case letter as a buffer name (A-Z) is the -same as referring to the lower case letter, except that text placed -in such a buffer is appended to it instead of replacing it. -.FE -There are two more basic commands and -some variations useful in getting and putting text into a file. -.VL 16 -.IP ["][cnt]y{motion} 16 -.sp 1 -Yank the specified item or "cnt" items and put in the "undo" buffer or -the specified buffer. The variety of "items" that can be yanked -is the same as those that can be deleted with the "d" command or -changed with the "c" command. In the same way that "dd" means -delete the current line and "cc" means replace the current line, -"yy" means yank the current line. -.IP ["][cnt]Y 16 -Yank the current line or the "cnt" lines starting from the current -line. If no buffer is specified, they will go into the "undo" buffer, -like any delete would. It is equivalent to "yy". -Mnemonic: \fBY\fRank -.IP ["]p 16 -Put "undo" buffer or the specified buffer down \fBafter\fR the cursor. -If whole lines were yanked or deleted into the buffer, then they will be -put down on the line following the line the cursor is on. If -something else was deleted, like a word or sentence, then it will -be inserted immediately following the cursor. -Mnemonic: \fBp\fRut buffer -.IP -It should be noted that text in the named buffers remains there when you -start editing a new file with the \fB:e file\fR command. Since -this is so, it is possible to copy or delete text from one file and -carry it over to another file in the buffers. -However, the undo buffer and the ability to undo are lost when -changing files. -.IP ["]P 16 -Put "undo" buffer or the specified buffer down \fBbefore\fR the cursor. -If whole lines where yanked or deleted into the buffer, then they will be -put down on the line preceding the line the cursor is on. If -something else was deleted, like a word or sentence, then it will -be inserted immediately preceding the cursor. -.IP [cnt]>{motion} 16 -The shift operator will right shift all the text from the line on which -the cursor is located to the line where the \fBmotion\fR is located. -The text is shifted by one \fBshiftwidth\fR. (See section 6.) -\fB>>\fR means right shift the current line or lines. -.IP [cnt]<{motion} 16 -The shift operator will left shift all the text from the line on which -the cursor is located to the line where the \fBitem\fR is located. -The text is shifted by one \fBshiftwidth\fR. (See section 6.) -\fB<<\fR means left shift the current line or lines. -Once the line has reached the left margin it is not further affected. -.IP [cnt]={motion} 16 -Prettyprints the indicated area according to -.B lisp -conventions. -The area should be a lisp s-expression. -.LE -.NH 2 -Miscellaneous Commands -.LP -\fBVi\fR has a number of miscellaneous commands that are very -useful. They are: -.VL 16 -.IP ZZ 16 -This is the normal way to exit from vi. -If any changes have been made, the file is written out. -Then you are returned to the shell. -.IP ^L 16 -Redraw the current screen. This is useful if someone "write"s you -while you are in "vi" or if for any reason garbage gets onto the -screen. -.IP ^R 16 -On dumb terminals, those not having the "delete line" function -(the vt100 is such a terminal), \fBvi\fR saves redrawing the -screen when you delete a line by just marking the line with an -"@" at the beginning and blanking the line. If you want to -actually get rid of the lines marked with "@" and see what the -page looks like, typing a ^R will do this. -.IP \s+4.\s0 16 -"Dot" is a particularly useful command. It repeats the last -text modifying command. Therefore you can type a command once and -then to another place and repeat it by just typing ".". -.IP u 16 -Perhaps the most important command in the editor, -u undoes the last command that changed the buffer. -Mnemonic: \fBu\fRndo -.IP U 16 -Undo all the text modifying commands performed on the current line -since the last time you moved onto it. -.IP [cnt]J 16 -Join the current line and the following line. The is deleted -and the two lines joined, usually with a space between the -end of the first line and the beginning of what was the second -line. If the first line ended with a "period", then two spaces -are inserted. -A count joins the next cnt lines. -Mnemonic: \fBJ\fRoin lines -.IP Q 16 -Switch to \fBex\fR editing mode. -In this mode \fBvi\fR will behave very much like \fBed\fR. -The editor in this mode will operate on single lines normally and -will not attempt to keep the "window" up to date. -Once in this mode it is also possible to switch to the \fBopen\fR -mode of editing. By entering the command \fB[line number]open\fR -you enter this mode. It is similar to the normal visual mode -except the window is only \fBone\fR line long. -Mnemonic: \fBQ\fRuit visual mode -.IP ^] 16 -An abbreviation for a tag command. -The cursor should be positioned at the beginning of a word. -That word is taken as a tag name, and the tag with that -name is found as if it had been typed in a :tag command. -.IP [cnt]!{motion}{UNIX\ cmd} 16 -.br -Any UNIX filter -(e.g. command that reads the standard input and outputs something -to the standard output) can be sent a section of the current file and -have the output of the command replace the original text. Useful -examples are programs like \fBcb\fR, \fBsort\fR, and -\fBnroff\fR. For instance, using \fBsort\fR it would be possible to -sort a section of the current file into a new list. -Using \fB!!\fR means take a line or lines starting at the line the -cursor is currently on and pass them to the UNIX command. -.B NOTE: -To just escape to the shell for one command, -use :!{cmd}, see section 5. -.IP z{cnt} 16 -This resets the current window size to "cnt" lines and redraws the screen. -.LE -.NH 2 -Special Insert Characters -.LP -There are some characters that have special meanings during -insert modes. They are: -.VL 16 -.IP ^V 16 -During inserts, typing a ^V allows you to quote control characters -into the file. Any character typed after the ^V will be inserted -into the file. -.IP [^]^D\ or\ [0]^D 16 -<^D> without any argument backs up one \fBshiftwidth\fR. This is necessary -to remove indentation that was inserted by the \fBautoindent\fR feature. -^<^D> temporarily removes all the autoindentation, thus placing the cursor -at the left margin. On the next line, the previous indent level will be -restored. This is useful for putting "labels" at the left margin. -0<^D> says remove all autoindents and stay that way. Thus the cursor -moves to the left margin and stays there on successive lines until -'s are typed. As with the , the <^D> is only effective before -any other "non-autoindent" controlling characters are typed. -Mnemonic: \fBD\fRelete a shiftwidth -.IP ^W 16 -If the cursor is sitting on a word, <^W> moves the cursor back to the beginning -of the word, thus erasing the word from the insert. -Mnemonic: erase \fBW\fRord -.IP 16 -The backspace always serves as an erase during insert modes in addition -to your normal "erase" character. To insert a into your file, use -the <^V> to quote it. -.LE -.NH 1 -\fB:\fR Commands -.LP -Typing a ":" during command mode causes \fBvi\fR to put the cursor at -the bottom on the screen in preparation for a command. In the -":" mode, \fBvi\fR can be given most \fBed\fR commands. It is -also from this mode that you exit from \fBvi\fR or switch to different -files. All commands of this variety are terminated by a , , -or . -.VL 16 -.IP ":w[!] [file]" 16 -Causes \fBvi\fR to write out the current text to the disk. It is -written to the file you are editing unless "file" is supplied. If -"file" is supplied, the write is directed to that file instead. If -that file already exists, \fBvi\fR will not perform the write unless -the "!" is supplied indicating you -.I really -want to destroy the older copy of the file. -.IP :q[!] 16 -Causes \fBvi\fR to exit. If you have modified the file you are -looking at currently and haven't written it out, \fBvi\fR will -refuse to exit unless the "!" is supplied. -.IP ":e[!] [+[cmd]] [file]" 16 -.sp 1 -Start editing a new file called "file" or start editing the current -file over again. The command ":e!" says "ignore the changes I've made -to this file and start over from the beginning". It is useful if -you really mess up the file. The optional "+" says instead of starting -at the beginning, start at the "end", or, -if "cmd" is supplied, execute "cmd" first. -Useful cases of this are where cmd is "n" (any integer) which starts -at line number n, -and "/text", which searches for "text" and starts at the line where -it is found. -.IP "^^" 16 -Switch back to the place you were before your last tag command. -If your last tag command stayed within the file, ^^ returns to that tag. -If you have no recent tag command, it will return to the -same place in the previous file that it was showing when you switched -to the current file. -.IP ":n[!]" 16 -Start editing the next file in the argument list. Since \fBvi\fR -can be called with multiple file names, the ":n" command tells it to -stop work on the current file and switch to the next file. If the -current file was modifies, it has to be written out before the ":n" -will work or else the "!" must be supplied, which says discard the -changes I made to the current file. -.IP ":n[!] file [file file ...]" 16 -.sp -Replace the current argument list with a new list of files and start -editing the first file in this new list. -.IP ":r file" 16 -Read in a copy of "file" on the line after the cursor. -.IP ":r !cmd" 16 -Execute the "cmd" and take its output and put it into the file after -the current line. -.IP ":!cmd" 16 -Execute any UNIX shell command. -.IP ":ta[!] tag" 16 -.B Vi -looks in the file named -.B tags -in the current directory. -.B Tags -is a file of lines in the format: -.sp 1 -.ti +8 -tag filename \fBvi\fR-search-command -.sp 1 -If \fBvi\fR finds the tag you specified in the \fB:ta\fR command, -it stops editing the current file if necessary and if the current file is -up to date on the disk and switches to the file specified and uses the -search pattern specified to find the "tagged" item of interest. This -is particularly useful when editing multi-file C programs such as the -operating system. There is a program called \fBctags\fR which will -generate an appropriate \fBtags\fR file for C and f77 -programs so that by saying -\fB:ta function\fR you will be switched to that function. -It could also be useful when editing multi-file documents, though the -\fBtags\fR file would have to be generated manually. -.LE -.NH 1 -Special Arrangements for Startup -.PP -\fBVi\fR takes the value of \fB$TERM\fR and looks up the characteristics -of that terminal in the file \fB/etc/termcap\fR. -If you don't know \fBvi\fR's name for the terminal you are working -on, look in \fB/etc/termcap\fR. -.PP -When \fBvi\fR starts, it attempts to read the variable EXINIT -from your environment.* -If that exists, it takes the values in it as the default values -for certain of its internal constants. See the section on "Set Values" -for further details. -If EXINIT doesn't exist you will get all the normal defaults. -.FS -* On version 6 systems -Instead of EXINIT, put the startup commands in the file .exrc -in your home directory. -.FE -.PP -Should you inadvertently hang up the phone while inside -.B vi , -or should the computer crash, -all may not be lost. -Upon returning to the system, type: -.DS -vi \-r file -.DE -This will normally recover the file. If there is more than one -temporary file for a specific file name, \fBvi\fR recovers the -newest one. You can get an older version by recovering the -file more than once. -The command "vi -r" without a file name gives you the list of files -that were saved in the last system crash -(but -.I not -the file just saved when the phone was hung up). -.NH 1 -Set Commands -.LP -\fBVi\fR has a number of internal variables and switches which can be -set to achieve special affects. -These options come in three forms, those that are switches, which toggle -from off to on and back, those that require a numeric value, and those -that require an alphanumeric string value. -The toggle options are set by a command of the form: -.DS -:set option -.DE -and turned off with the command: -.DS -:set nooption -.DE -Commands requiring a value are set with a command of the form: -.DS -:set option=value -.DE -To display the value of a specific option type: -.DS -:set option? -.DE -To display only those that you have changed type: -.DS -:set -.DE -and to display the long table of all the settable parameters and -their current values type: -.DS -:set all -.DE -.PP -Most of the options have a long form and an abbreviation. Both are -listed in the following table as well as the normal default value. -.PP -To arrange to have values other than the default used every time you -enter -.B vi , -place the appropriate -.B set -command in EXINIT in your environment, e.g. -.DS -EXINIT='set ai aw terse sh=/bin/csh' -export EXINIT -.DE -or -.DS -setenv EXINIT 'set ai aw terse sh=/bin/csh' -.DE -for -.B sh -and -.B csh , -respectively. -These are usually placed in your .profile or .login. -If you are running a system without environments (such as version 6) -you can place the set command in the file .exrc in your home -directory. -.VL 16 -.IP autoindent\ ai 16 -Default: noai Type: toggle -.br -When in autoindent mode, vi helps you indent code by starting each -line in the same column as the preceding line. -Tabbing to the right with or <^T> will move this boundary to -the right, and it can be moved to the left with <^D>. -.IP autoprint\ ap 16 -Default: ap Type: toggle -.br -Causes the current line to be printed after each ex text modifying command. -This is not of much interest in the normal \fBvi\fR visual mode. -.IP autowrite\ aw 16 -Default: noaw type: toggle -.br -Autowrite causes an automatic write to be done if there are unsaved -changes before certain commands which change files or otherwise -interact with the outside world. -These commands are :!, :tag, :next, :rewind, ^^, and ^]. -.IP beautify\ bf 16 -Default: nobf Type: toggle -.br -Causes all control characters except , , and to be discarded. -.IP directory\ dir 16 -Default: dir=/tmp Type: string -.br -This is the directory in which \fBvi\fR puts its temporary file. -.IP errorbells\ eb 16 -Default: noeb Type: toggle -.br -Error messages are preceded by a . -.IP hardtabs\ ht 16 -Default: hardtabs=8 Type: numeric -.br -This option contains the value of hardware tabs in your terminal, or -of software tabs expanded by the Unix system. -.IP ignorecase\ ic 16 -Default: noic Type: toggle -.br -All upper case characters are mapped to lower case in regular expression -matching. -.IP lisp 16 -Default: nolisp Type: toggle -.br -Autoindent for \fBlisp\fR code. The commands \fB( ) [[\fR and \fB]]\fR -are modified appropriately to affect s-expressions and functions. -.IP list 16 -Default: nolist Type: toggle -.br -All printed lines have the and characters displayed visually. -.IP magic 16 -Default: magic Type: toggle -.br -Enable the metacharacters for matching. These include \fB. * < > [string] -[^string]\fR and \fB[-]\fR. -.IP number\ nu 16 -Default: nonu Type: toggle -.br -Each line is displayed with its line number. -.IP open 16 -Default: open Type: toggle -.br -When set, prevents entering open or visual modes from ex or edit. -Not of interest from vi. -.IP optimize\ opt 16 -Default: opt Type: toggle -.br -Basically of use only when using the \fBex\fR capabilities. This -option prevents automatic s from taking place, -and speeds up output of indented lines, -at the expense of losing typeahead on some versions of UNIX. -.IP paragraphs\ para 16 -Default: para=IPLPPPQPP\ bp Type: string -.br -Each pair of characters in the string indicate \fBnroff\fR macros -which are to be treated as the beginning of a paragraph for the -\fB{\fR and \fB}\fR commands. The default string is for the \fB-ms\fR -and \fB-mm\fR macros. -To indicate one letter \fBnroff\fR macros, such as \fB.P\fR or \fB.H\fR, -quote a space in for the second character position. For example: -.sp 1 -.ti +8 -:set paragraphs=P\e bp -.sp 1 -would cause \fBvi\fR to consider \fB.P\fR and \fB.bp\fR as paragraph -delimiters. -.IP prompt 16 -Default: prompt Type: toggle -.br -In -.B ex -command mode the prompt character \fB:\fR will be printed when -\fBex\fR is waiting for a command. This is not of interest from vi. -.IP redraw 16 -Default: noredraw Type: toggle -.br -On dumb terminals, force the screen to always be up to date, -by sending great amounts of output. Useful only at high speeds. -.IP report 16 -Default: report=5 Type: numeric -.br -This sets the threshold for the number of lines modified. When -more than this number of lines are modified, removed, or yanked, -\fBvi\fR will report the number of lines changed at the bottom of -the screen. -.IP scroll 16 -Default: scroll={1/2 window} Type: numeric -.br -This is the number of lines that the screen scrolls up or down when -using the <^U> and <^D> commands. -.IP sections 16 -Default: sections=SHNHH HU Type: string -.br -Each two character pair of this string specify \fBnroff\fR macro names -which are to be treated as the beginning of a section by the -\fB]]\fR and \fB[[\fR commands. The default string is for the \fB-ms\fR -and \fB-mm\fR macros. -To enter one letter \fBnroff\fR macros, use a quoted space as the -second character. -See \fBparagraphs\fR for a fuller explanation. -.IP shell\ sh 16 -Default: sh=from environment SHELL or /bin/sh Type: string -.br -This is the name of the \fBsh\fR to be used for "escaped" commands. -.IP shiftwidth\ sw 16 -Default: sw=8 Type: numeric -.br -This is the number of spaces that a <^T> or <^D> will move over for -indenting, and the amount < and > shift by. -.IP showmatch\ sm 16 -Default: nosm Type: toggle -.br -When a \fB)\fR or \fB}\fR is typed, show the matching \fB(\fR or \fB{\fR -by moving the cursor to it for one second if it is on the current screen. -.IP slowopen\ slow 16 -Default: terminal dependent Type: toggle -.br -On terminals that are slow and unintelligent, this option prevents the -updating of the screen some of the time to improve speed. -.IP tabstop\ ts 16 -Default: ts=8 Type: numeric -.br -s are expanded to boundaries that are multiples of this value. -.IP taglength\ tl 16 -Default: tl=0 Type: numeric -.br -If nonzero, tag names are only significant to this many characters. -.IP term 16 -Default: (from environment \fBTERM\fP, else dumb) Type: string -.br -This is the terminal and controls the visual displays. It cannot be -changed when in "visual" mode, -you have to Q to command mode, type a -set term command, and do ``vi.'' to get back into visual. -Or exit vi, fix $TERM, and reenter. -The definitions that drive a particular -terminal type are found in the file \fB/etc/termcap\fR. -.IP terse 16 -Default: terse Type: toggle -.br -When set, the error diagnostics are short. -.IP warn 16 -Default: warn Type: toggle -.br -The user is warned if she/he tries to escape to -the shell without writing out the current changes. -.IP window 16 -Default: window={8 at 600 baud or less, 16 at 1200 baud, and screen -size \- 1 at 2400 baud or more} Type: numeric -.br -This is the number of lines in the window whenever \fBvi\fR must redraw -an entire screen. It is useful to make this size smaller if you are -on a slow line. -.IP w300,\ w1200,\ w9600 -.br -These set window, but only within the corresponding speed ranges. -They are useful in an EXINIT to fine tune window sizes. -For example, -.DS -set w300=4 w1200=12 -.DE -causes a 4 lines window at speed up to 600 baud, a 12 line window at 1200 -baud, and a full screen (the default) at over 1200 baud. -.IP wrapscan\ ws 16 -Default: ws Type: toggle -.br -Searches will wrap around the end of the file when is option is set. When -it is off, the search will terminate when it reaches the end or the -beginning of the file. -.IP wrapmargin\ wm 16 -Default: wm=0 Type: numeric -.br -\fBVi\fR will automatically insert a when it finds a natural -break point (usually a between words) that occurs within -"wm" spaces of the right margin. -Therefore with "wm=0" the option is off. Setting it to 10 would -mean that any time you are within 10 spaces of the right margin -\fBvi\fR would be looking for a or which it could -replace with a . This is convenient for people who forget -to look at the screen while they type. -(In version 3, wrapmargin behaves more like nroff, in that the -boundary specified by the distance from the right edge of the screen -is taken as the rightmost edge of the area where a break is allowed, -instead of the leftmost edge.) -.IP writeany\ wa 16 -Default: nowa Type: toggle -.br -\fBVi\fR normally makes a number of checks before it writes out a file. -This prevents the user from inadvertently destroying a file. When the -"writeany" option is enabled, \fBvi\fR no longer makes these checks. -.LE diff --git a/usr.bin/vi/USD.doc/vitut/vi.chars b/usr.bin/vi/USD.doc/vitut/vi.chars deleted file mode 100644 index 147c4ff7f2d8..000000000000 --- a/usr.bin/vi/USD.doc/vitut/vi.chars +++ /dev/null @@ -1,644 +0,0 @@ -.\" Copyright (c) 1980, 1993 -.\" The Regents of the University of California.

See the \fB/\fR description -above for details on scanning (2.2, 6.1, 7.4). -.iP "@" 15 -A macro character (6.9). If this is your kill character, you must escape it with a \e -to type it in during input mode, as it normally backs over the input you -have given on the current line (3.1, 3.4, 7.5). -.iP "A" 15 -Appends at the end of line, a synonym for \fB$a\fR (7.2). -.iP "B" 15 -Backs up a word, where words are composed of non-blank sequences, placing -the cursor at the beginning of the word.

A count repeats the effect. -.iP "F" 15 -Finds a single following character, backwards in the current line. -A count repeats this search that many times (4.1). -.iP "G" 15 -Goes to the line number given as preceding argument, or the end of the -file if no preceding count is given. The screen is redrawn with the -new current line in the center if necessary (7.2). -.iP "H" 15 -.B "Home arrow" . -Homes the cursor to the top line on the screen. If a count is given, -then the cursor is moved to the count'th line on the screen. -In any case the cursor is moved to the first non-white character on the -line. If used as the target of an operator, full lines are affected -(2.3, 3.2). -.iP "I" 15 -Inserts at the beginning of a line; a synonym for \fB\(uai\fR. -.iP "J" 15 -Joins together lines, supplying appropriate white space: one space between -words, two spaces after a \fB.\fR, and no spaces at all if the first -character of the joined on line is \fB)\fR.

A count can be used on dumb terminals to specify a number -of lines to be opened; this is generally obsolete, as the \fIslowopen\fR -option works better (3.1). -.iP "P" 15 -Puts the last deleted text back before/above the cursor. The text goes -back as whole lines above the cursor if it was deleted as whole lines. -Otherwise the text is inserted between the characters before and at the -cursor.

Changes which you make to the file are reflected -in what you see. -.PP -Using -.I vi -you can insert new text any place in the file quite easily. -Most of the commands to -.I vi -move the cursor around in the file. -There are commands to move the cursor -forward and backward in units of characters, words, -sentences and paragraphs. -A small set of operators, like -.B d -for delete and -.B c -for change, are combined with the motion commands to form operations -such as delete word or change paragraph, in a simple and natural way. -This regularity and the mnemonic assignment of commands to keys makes the -editor command set easy to remember and to use. -.PP -.I Vi -will work on a large number of display terminals, -and new terminals are easily driven after editing a terminal description file. -While it is advantageous to have an intelligent terminal which can locally -insert and delete lines and characters from the display, the editor will -function quite well on dumb terminals over slow phone lines. -The editor makes allowance for the low bandwidth in these situations -and uses smaller window sizes and -different display updating algorithms to make best use of the -limited speed available. -.PP -It is also possible to use the command set of -.I vi -on hardcopy terminals, storage tubes and ``glass tty's'' using a one line -editing window; thus -.I vi's -command set is available on all terminals. -The full command set of the more traditional, line -oriented editor -.I ex -is available within -.I vi; -it is quite simple to switch between the two modes of editing. -.AE -.NH 1 -Getting started -.PP -.FS -The financial support of an \s-2IBM\s0 Graduate Fellowship and the -National Science Foundation under grants MCS74-07644-A03 and MCS78-07291 -is gratefully acknowledged. -.FE -This document provides a quick introduction to -.I vi. -(Pronounced \fIvee-eye\fP.) -You should be running -.I vi -on a file you are familiar with while you are reading this. -The first part of this document (sections 1 through 5) -describes the basics of using -.I vi. -Some topics of special interest are presented in section 6, and -some nitty-gritty details of how the editor functions are saved for section -7 to avoid cluttering the presentation here. -.PP -There is also a short appendix here, which gives for each character the -special meanings which this character has in \fIvi\fR.

Look on your keyboard for a key labelled \s-2ESC\s0 -or \s-2ALT\s0. It should be near the upper left corner of your terminal. -Try hitting this key a few times. The editor will ring the bell -to indicate that it is in a quiescent state.\*(dd -.FS -\*(dd On smart terminals where it is possible, the editor will quietly -flash the screen rather than ringing the bell. -.FE -Partially formed commands are cancelled by \s-2ESC\s0, and when you insert -text in the file you end the text insertion -with \s-2ESC\s0. This key is a fairly -harmless one to hit, so you can just hit it if you don't know -what is going on until the editor rings the bell. -.PP -The \s-2CR\s0 or \s-2RETURN\s0 key is important because it is used -to terminate certain commands. -It is usually at the right side of the keyboard, -and is the same command used at the end of each shell command. -.PP -Another very useful key is the \s-2DEL\s0 or \s-2RUB\s0 key, which generates -an interrupt, telling the editor to stop what it is doing. -It is a forceful way of making the editor listen -to you, or to return it to the quiescent state if you don't know or don't -like what is going on. Try hitting the `/' key on your terminal. This -key is used when you want to specify a string to be searched for. The -cursor should now be positioned at the bottom line of the terminal after -a `/' printed as a prompt. You can get the cursor back to the current -position by hitting the \s-2DEL\s0 or \s-2RUB\s0 key; try this now.* -.FS -* Backspacing over the `/' will also cancel the search. -.FE -From now on we will simply refer to hitting the \s-2DEL\s0 or \s-2RUB\s0 -key as ``sending an interrupt.''** -.FS -** On some systems, this interruptibility comes at a price: you cannot type -ahead when the editor is computing with the cursor on the bottom line. -.FE -.PP -The editor often echoes your commands on the last line of the terminal. -If the cursor is on the first position of this last line, then the editor -is performing a computation, such as computing a new position in the -file after a search or running a command to reformat part of the buffer. -When this is happening you can stop the editor by -sending an interrupt. -.NH 2 -Getting out of the editor -.PP -After you have worked with this introduction for a while, and you wish -to do something else, you can give the command \fBZZ\fP -to the editor. -This will write the contents of the editor's buffer back into -the file you are editing, if you made any changes, and then quit from -the editor. You can also end an editor -session by giving the command \fB:q!\fR\s-2CR\s0;\*(dg -.FS -\*(dg All commands which read from the last display line can also be -terminated with a \s-2ESC\s0 as well as an \s-2CR\s0. -.FE -this is a dangerous but occasionally essential -command which ends the editor session and discards all your changes. -You need to know about this command in case you change the editor's -copy of a file you wish only to look at. Be very careful -not to give this command when you really want to save -the changes you have made. -.NH 1 -Moving around in the file -.NH 2 -Scrolling and paging -.PP -The editor has a number of commands for moving around in the file. -The most useful of these is generated by hitting the control and D keys -at the same time, a control-D or `^D'. We will use this two character -notation for referring to these control keys from now on. You may have -a key labelled `^' on your terminal. This key will be represented as `\(ua' -in this document; `^' is exclusively used as part of the `^x' notation -for control characters.\*(dd -.FS -\*(dd If you don't have a `^' key on your terminal -then there is probably a key labelled `\(ua'; in any case these characters -are one and the same. -.FE -.PP -As you know now if you tried hitting \fB^D\fR, this command scrolls down in -the file. The \fBD\fR thus stands for down. Many editor commands are mnemonic -and this makes them much easier to remember. For instance the command -to scroll up is \fB^U\fR. Many dumb terminals can't scroll up at all, in which -case hitting \fB^U\fR clears the screen and refreshes it -with a line which is farther back in the file at the top. -.PP -If you want to see more of the file below where you are, you can -hit \fB^E\fR to expose one more line at the bottom of the screen, -leaving the cursor where it is. -The command \fB^Y\fR (which is hopelessly non-mnemonic, but next to \fB^U\fR -on the keyboard) exposes one more line at the top of the screen. -.PP -There are other ways to move around in the file; the keys \fB^F\fR and \fB^B\fR -move forward and backward a page, -keeping a couple of lines of continuity between screens -so that it is possible to read through a file using these rather than -\fB^D\fR and \fB^U\fR if you wish. -.PP -Notice the difference between scrolling and paging. If you are trying -to read the text in a file, hitting \fB^F\fR to move forward a page -will leave you only a little context to look back at. Scrolling on the -other hand leaves more context, and happens more smoothly. You can continue -to read the text as scrolling is taking place. -.NH 2 -Searching, goto, and previous context -.PP -Another way to position yourself in the file is by giving the editor a string -to search for. Type the character \fB/\fR followed by a string of characters -terminated by \s-2CR\s0. The editor will position the cursor -at the next occurrence of this string. -Try hitting \fBn\fR to then go to the next occurrence of this string. -The character \fB?\fR will search backwards from where you are, and is -otherwise like \fB/\fR.\*(dg -.FS -\*(dg These searches will normally wrap around the end of the file, and thus -find the string even if it is not on a line in the direction you search -provided it is anywhere else in the file. You can disable this wraparound -in scans by giving the command \fB:se nowrapscan\fR\s-2CR\s0, -or more briefly \fB:se nows\fR\s-2CR\s0. -.FE -.PP -If the search string you give the editor is not present in the -file the editor will print -a diagnostic on the last line of the screen, and the cursor will be returned -to its initial position. -.PP -If you wish the search to match only at the beginning of a line, begin -the search string with an \fB\(ua\fR. To match only at the end of -a line, end the search string with a \fB$\fR. -Thus \fB/\(uasearch\fR\s-2CR\s0 will search for the word `search' at -the beginning of a line, and \fB/last$\fR\s-2CR\s0 searches for the -word `last' at the end of a line.* -.FS -*Actually, the string you give to search for here can be a -.I "regular expression" -in the sense of the editors -.I ex (1) -and -.I ed (1). -If you don't wish to learn about this yet, you can disable this more -general facility by doing -\fB:se\ nomagic\fR\s-2CR\s0; -by putting this command in -EXINIT -in your environment, you can have this always be in effect (more -about -.I EXINIT -later.) -.FE -.PP -The command \fBG\fR, when preceded by a number will position the cursor -at that line in the file. -Thus \fB1G\fR will move the cursor to -the first line of the file. If you give \fBG\fR no count, then it moves -to the end of the file. -.PP -If you are near the end of the file, and the last line is not at the bottom -of the screen, the editor will place only the character `~' on each remaining -line. This indicates that the last line in the file is on the screen; -that is, the `~' lines are past the end of the file. -.PP -You can find out the state of the file you are editing by typing a \fB^G\fR. -The editor will show you the name of the file you are editing, the number -of the current line, the number of lines in the buffer, and the percentage -of the way through the buffer which you are. -Try doing this now, and remember the number of the line you are on. -Give a \fBG\fR command to get to the end and then another \fBG\fR command -to get back where you were. -.PP -You can also get back to a previous position by using the command -\fB\(ga\(ga\fR (two back quotes). -This is often more convenient than \fBG\fR because it requires no advance -preparation. -Try giving a \fBG\fR or a search with \fB/\fR or \fB?\fR and then a -\fB\(ga\(ga\fR to get back to where you were. If you accidentally hit -\fBn\fR or any command which moves you far away from a context of interest, you -can quickly get back by hitting \fB\(ga\(ga\fR. -.NH 2 -Moving around on the screen -.PP -Now try just moving the cursor around on the screen. -If your terminal has arrow keys (4 or 5 keys with arrows -going in each direction) try them and convince yourself -that they work. -If you don't have working arrow keys, you can always use -.B h , -.B j , -.B k , -and -.B l . -Experienced users of -.I vi -prefer these keys to arrow keys, -because they are usually right underneath their fingers. -.PP -Hit the \fB+\fR key. Each time you do, notice that the cursor -advances to the next line in the file, at the first non-white position -on the line. The \fB\-\fR key is like \fB+\fR but goes the other way. -.PP -These are very common keys for moving up and down lines in the file. -Notice that if you go off the bottom or top with these keys then the -screen will scroll down (and up if possible) to bring a line at a time -into view. The \s-2RETURN\s0 key has the same effect as the \fB+\fR -key. -.PP -.I Vi -also has commands to take you to the top, middle and bottom of the screen. -\fBH\fR will take you to the top (home) line on the screen. -Try preceding it with a -number as in \fB3H\fR. -This will take you to the third line on the screen. -Many -.I vi -commands take preceding numbers and do interesting things with them. -Try \fBM\fR, -which takes you to the middle line on the screen, -and \fBL\fR, -which takes you to the last line on the screen. -\fBL\fR also takes counts, thus -\fB5L\fR will take you to the fifth line from the bottom. -.NH 2 -Moving within a line -.PP -Now try picking a word on some line on the screen, not the -first word on the line. -move the cursor using \s-2RETURN\s0 and \fB\-\fR to be on the line where -the word is. -Try hitting the \fBw\fR key. This will advance the cursor to the -next word on the line. -Try hitting the \fBb\fR key to back up words -in the line. -Also try the \fBe\fR key which advances you to the end of the current -word rather than to the beginning of the next word. -Also try \s-2SPACE\s0 (the space bar) which moves right one character -and the \s-2BS\s0 (backspace or \fB^H\fR) key which moves left one character. -The key \fBh\fR works as \fB^H\fR does and is useful if you don't have -a \s-2BS\s0 key. -(Also, as noted just above, \fBl\fR will move to the right.) -.PP -If the line had punctuation in it you may have noticed that -that the \fBw\fR and \fBb\fR -keys stopped at each group of punctuation. You can also go back and -forwards words without stopping at punctuation by using \fBW\fR and \fBB\fR -rather than the lower case equivalents. Think of these as bigger words. -Try these on a few lines with punctuation to see how they differ from -the lower case \fBw\fR and \fBb\fR. -.PP -The word keys wrap around the end of line, -rather than stopping at the end.

Find a line -where this makes sense and then give the command \fBo\fR to create a -new line after the line you are on, or the command \fBO\fR to create -a new line before the line you are on. After you create a new line in -this way, text you type up to an \s-2ESC\s0 is inserted on the new line. -.PP -Many related editor commands -are invoked by the same letter key and differ only in that one is given -by a lower -case key and the other is given by -an upper case key. In these cases, the -upper case key often differs from the lower case key in its sense of -direction, with -the upper case key working backward and/or up, while the lower case -key moves forward and/or down. -.PP -Whenever you are typing in text, you can give many lines of input or -just a few characters. -To type in more than one line of text, -hit a \s-2RETURN\s0 at the middle of your input. A new line will be created -for text, and you can continue to type. If you are on a slow -and dumb terminal the editor may choose to wait to redraw the -tail of the screen, and will let you type over the existing screen lines. -This avoids the lengthy delay which would occur if the editor attempted -to keep the tail of the screen always up to date. The tail of the screen will -be fixed up, and the missing lines will reappear, when you hit \s-2ESC\s0. -.PP -While you are inserting new text, you can use the characters you normally use -at the system command level (usually \fB^H\fR or \fB#\fR) to backspace -over the last -character which you typed, and the character which you use to kill input lines -(usually \fB@\fR, \fB^X\fR, or \fB^U\fR) -to erase the input you have typed on the current line.\*(dg -.FS -\*(dg In fact, the character \fB^H\fR (backspace) always works to erase the -last input character here, regardless of what your erase character is. -.FE -The character \fB^W\fR -will erase a whole word and leave you after the space after the previous -word; it is useful for quickly backing up in an insert. -.PP -Notice that when you backspace during an insertion the characters you -backspace over are not erased; the cursor moves backwards, and the characters -remain on the display. This is often useful if you are planning to type -in something similar. In any case the characters disappear when when -you hit \s-2ESC\s0; if you want to get rid of them immediately, hit an -\s-2ESC\s0 and then \fBa\fR again. -.PP -Notice also that you can't erase characters which you didn't insert, and that -you can't backspace around the end of a line. If you need to back up -to the previous line to make a correction, just hit \s-2ESC\s0 and move -the cursor back to the previous line. After making the correction you -can return to where you were and use the insert or append command again. -.NH 2 -Making small corrections -.PP -You can make small corrections in existing text quite easily. -Find a single character which is wrong or just pick any character. -Use the arrow keys to find the character, or -get near the character with the word motion keys and then either -backspace (hit the \s-2BS\s0 key or \fB^H\fR or even just \fBh\fR) or -\s-2SPACE\s0 (using the space bar) -until the cursor is on the character which is wrong. -If the character is not needed then hit the \fBx\fP key; this deletes -the character from the file. It is analogous to the way you \fBx\fP -out characters when you make mistakes on a typewriter (except it's not -as messy). -.PP -If the character -is incorrect, you can replace it with the correct character by giving -the command \fBr\fR\fIc\fR, -where \fIc\fR is replaced by the correct character. -Finally if the character which is incorrect should be replaced -by more than one character, give the command \fBs\fR which substitutes -a string of characters, ending with \s-2ESC\s0, for it. -If there are a small number of characters -which are wrong you can precede \fBs\fR with a count of the number of -characters to be replaced. Counts are also useful with \fBx\fR to specify -the number of characters to be deleted. -.NH 2 -More corrections: operators -.PP -You already know almost enough to make changes at a higher level. -All you need to know now is that the -.B d -key acts as a delete operator. Try the command -.B dw -to delete a word. -Try hitting \fB.\fR a few times. Notice that this repeats the effect -of the \fBdw\fR. The command \fB.\fR repeats the last command which -made a change. You can remember it by analogy with an ellipsis `\fB...\fR'. -.PP -Now try -\fBdb\fR. -This deletes a word backwards, namely the preceding word. -Try -\fBd\fR\s-2SPACE\s0. This deletes a single character, and is equivalent -to the \fBx\fR command. -.PP -Another very useful operator is -.B c -or change. The command -.B cw -thus changes the text of a single word. -You follow it by the replacement text ending with an \s-2ESC\s0. -Find a word which you can change to another, and try this -now. -Notice that the end of the text to be changed was marked with the character -`$' so that you can see this as you are typing in the new material. -.NH 2 -Operating on lines -.PP -It is often the case that you want to operate on lines. -Find a line which you want to delete, and type -\fBdd\fR, -the -.B d -operator twice. This will delete the line. -If you are on a dumb terminal, the editor may just erase the line on -the screen, replacing it with a line with only an @ on it. This line -does not correspond to any line in your file, but only acts as a place -holder. It helps to avoid a lengthy redraw of the rest of the screen -which would be necessary to close up the hole created by the deletion -on a terminal without a delete line capability. -.PP -Try repeating the -.B c -operator twice; this will change a whole line, erasing its previous contents and -replacing them with text you type up to an \s-2ESC\s0.\*(dg -.FS -\*(dg The command \fBS\fR is a convenient synonym for for \fBcc\fR, by -analogy with \fBs\fR. Think of \fBS\fR as a substitute on lines, while -\fBs\fR is a substitute on characters. -.FE -.PP -You can delete or change more than one line by preceding the -.B dd -or -.B cc -with a count, i.e. \fB5dd\fR deletes 5 lines. -You can also give a command like \fBdL\fR to delete all the lines up to -and including -the last line on the screen, or \fBd3L\fR to delete through the third from -the bottom line. Try some commands like this now.* -.FS -* One subtle point here involves using the \fB/\fR search after a \fBd\fR. -This will normally delete characters from the current position to the -point of the match. If what is desired is to delete whole lines -including the two points, give the pattern as \fB/pat/+0\fR, a line address. -.FE -Notice that the editor lets you know when you change a large number of -lines so that you can see the extent of the change. -The editor will also always tell you when a change you make affects text which -you cannot see. -.NH 2 -Undoing -.PP -Now suppose that the last change which you made was incorrect; -you could use the insert, delete and append commands to put the correct -material back. However, since it is often the case that we regret a -change or make a change incorrectly, the editor provides a -.B u -(undo) command to reverse the last change which you made. -Try this a few times, and give it twice in a row to notice that an -.B u -also undoes a -.B u. -.PP -The undo command lets you reverse only a single change. After you make -a number of changes to a line, you may decide that you would rather have -the original state of the line back. The -.B U -command restores the current line to the state before you started changing -it. -.PP -You can recover text which you delete, even if -undo will not bring it back; see the section on recovering lost text -below. -.NH 2 -Summary -.IP -.TS -lw(.50i)b a. -\fR\s-2SPACE\s0\fP advance the cursor one position -^H backspace the cursor -^W erase a word during an insert -\fRerase\fP your erase (usually ^H or #), erases a character during an insert -\fRkill\fP your kill (usually @, ^X, or ^U), kills the insert on this line -\&\fB.\fP repeats the changing command -O opens and inputs new lines, above the current -U undoes the changes you made to the current line -a appends text after the cursor -c changes the object you specify to the following text -d deletes the object you specify -i inserts text before the cursor -o opens and inputs new lines, below the current -u undoes the last change -.TE -.NH 1 -Moving about; rearranging and duplicating text -.NH 2 -Low level character motions -.PP -Now move the cursor to a line where there is a punctuation or a bracketing -character such as a parenthesis or a comma or period. Try the command -\fBf\fR\fIx\fR where \fIx\fR is this character. This command finds -the next \fIx\fR character to the right of the cursor in the current -line. Try then hitting a \fB;\fR, which finds the next instance of the -same character. By using the \fBf\fR command and then a sequence of -\fB;\fR's you can often -get to a particular place in a line much faster than with a sequence -of word motions or \s-2SPACE\s0s. -There is also a \fBF\fR command, which is like \fBf\fR, but searches -backward. The \fB;\fR command repeats \fBF\fR also. -.PP -When you are operating on the text in a line it is often desirable to -deal with the characters up to, but not including, the first instance of -a character. Try \fBdf\fR\fIx\fR for some \fIx\fR now and -notice that the \fIx\fR character is deleted. Undo this with \fBu\fR -and then try \fBdt\fR\fIx\fR; the \fBt\fR here stands for to, i.e. -delete up to the next \fIx\fR, but not the \fIx\fR. The command \fBT\fR -is the reverse of \fBt\fR. -.PP -When working with the text of a single line, an \fB\(ua\fR moves the -cursor to the first non-white position on the line, and a -\fB$\fR moves it to the end of the line. Thus \fB$a\fR will append new -text at the end of the current line. -.PP -Your file may have tab (\fB^I\fR) characters in it. These -characters are represented as a number of spaces expanding to a tab stop, -where tab stops are every 8 positions.* -.FS -* This is settable by a command of the form \fB:se ts=\fR\fIx\fR\s-2CR\s0, -where \fIx\fR is 4 to set tabstops every four columns. This has -effect on the screen representation within the editor. -.FE -When the cursor is at a tab, it sits on the last of the several spaces -which represent that tab. Try moving the cursor back and forth over -tabs so you understand how this works. -.PP -On rare occasions, your file may have nonprinting characters in it. -These characters are displayed in the same way they are represented in -this document, that is with a two character code, the first character -of which is `^'. On the screen non-printing characters resemble a `^' -character adjacent to another, but spacing or backspacing over the character -will reveal that the two characters are, like the spaces representing -a tab character, a single character. -.PP -The editor sometimes discards control characters, -depending on the character and the setting of the -.I beautify -option, -if you attempt to insert them in your file. -You can get a control character in the file by beginning -an insert and then typing a \fB^V\fR before the control -character. The -\fB^V\fR quotes the following character, causing it to be -inserted directly into the file. -.PP -.NH 2 -Higher level text objects -.PP -In working with a document it is often advantageous to work in terms -of sentences, paragraphs, and sections. The operations \fB(\fR and \fB)\fR -move to the beginning of the previous and next sentences respectively. -Thus the command \fBd)\fR will delete the rest of the current sentence; -likewise \fBd(\fR will delete the previous sentence if you are at the -beginning of the current sentence, or the current sentence up to where -you are if you are not at the beginning of the current sentence. -.PP -A sentence is defined to end at a `.', `!' or `?' which is followed by -either the end of a line, or by two spaces. Any number of closing `)', -`]', `"' and `\(aa' characters may appear after the `.', `!' or `?' before -the spaces or end of line. -.PP -The operations \fB{\fR and \fB}\fR move over paragraphs and the operations -\fB[[\fR and \fB]]\fR move over sections.\*(dg -.FS -\*(dg The \fB[[\fR and \fB]]\fR operations -require the operation character to be doubled because they can move the -cursor far from where it currently is. While it is easy to get back -with the command \fB\(ga\(ga\fP, -these commands would still be frustrating -if they were easy to hit accidentally. -.FE -.PP -A paragraph begins after each empty line, and also -at each of a set of paragraph macros, specified by the pairs of characters -in the definition of the string valued option \fIparagraphs\fR. -The default setting for this option defines the paragraph macros of the -\fI\-ms\fR and \fI\-mm\fR macro packages, i.e. the `.IP', `.LP', `.PP' -and `.QP', `.P' and `.LI' macros.\*(dd -.FS -\*(dd You can easily change or extend this set of macros by assigning a -different string to the \fIparagraphs\fR option in your EXINIT. -See section 6.2 for details. -The `.bp' directive is also considered to start a paragraph. -.FE -Each paragraph boundary is also a sentence boundary. The sentence -and paragraph commands can -be given counts to operate over groups of sentences and paragraphs. -.PP -Sections in the editor begin after each macro in the \fIsections\fR option, -normally `.NH', `.SH', `.H' and `.HU', and each line with a formfeed \fB^L\fR -in the first column. -Section boundaries are always line and paragraph boundaries also. -.PP -Try experimenting with the sentence and paragraph commands until you are -sure how they work. If you have a large document, try looking through -it using the section commands. -The section commands interpret a preceding count as a different window size in -which to redraw the screen at the new location, and this window size -is the base size for newly drawn windows until another size is specified. -This is very useful -if you are on a slow terminal and are looking for a particular section. -You can give the first section command a small count to then see each successive -section heading in a small window. -.NH 2 -Rearranging and duplicating text -.PP -The editor has a single unnamed buffer where the last deleted or -changed away text is saved, and a set of named buffers \fBa\fR\-\fBz\fR -which you can use to save copies of text and to move text around in -your file and between files. -.PP -The operator -.B y -yanks a copy of the object which follows into the unnamed buffer. -If preceded by a buffer name, \fB"\fR\fIx\fR\|\fBy\fR, where -\fIx\fR here is replaced by a letter \fBa\-z\fR, it places the text in the named -buffer. The text can then be put back in the file with the commands -.B p -and -.B P; -\fBp\fR puts the text after or below the cursor, while \fBP\fR puts the text -before or above the cursor. -.PP -If the text which you -yank forms a part of a line, or is an object such as a sentence which -partially spans more than one line, then when you put the text back, -it will be placed after the cursor (or before if you -use \fBP\fR). If the yanked text forms whole lines, they will be put -back as whole lines, without changing the current line. In this case, -the put acts much like a \fBo\fR or \fBO\fR command. -.PP -Try the command \fBYP\fR. This makes a copy of the current line and -leaves you on this copy, which is placed before the current line. -The command \fBY\fR is a convenient abbreviation for \fByy\fR. -The command \fBYp\fR will also make a copy of the current line, and place -it after the current line. You can give \fBY\fR a count of lines to -yank, and thus duplicate several lines; try \fB3YP\fR. -.PP -To move text within the buffer, you need to delete it in one place, and -put it back in another. You can precede a delete operation by the -name of a buffer in which the text is to be stored as in \fB"a5dd\fR -deleting 5 lines into the named buffer \fIa\fR. You can then move the -cursor to the eventual resting place of the these lines and do a \fB"ap\fR -or \fB"aP\fR to put them back. -In fact, you can switch and edit another file before you put the lines -back, by giving a command of the form \fB:e \fR\fIname\fR\s-2CR\s0 where -\fIname\fR is the name of the other file you want to edit. You will -have to write back the contents of the current editor buffer (or discard -them) if you have made changes before the editor will let you switch -to the other file. -An ordinary delete command saves the text in the unnamed buffer, -so that an ordinary put can move it elsewhere. -However, the unnamed buffer is lost when you change files, -so to move text from one file to another you should use an unnamed buffer. -.NH 2 -Summary. -.IP -.TS -lw(.50i)b a. -\(ua first non-white on line -$ end of line -) forward sentence -} forward paragraph -]] forward section -( backward sentence -{ backward paragraph -[[ backward section -f\fIx\fR find \fIx\fR forward in line -p put text back, after cursor or below current line -y yank operator, for copies and moves -t\fIx\fR up to \fIx\fR forward, for operators -F\fIx\fR f backward in line -P put text back, before cursor or above current line -T\fIx\fR t backward in line -.TE -.NH 1 -High level commands -.NH 2 -Writing, quitting, editing new files -.PP -So far we have seen how to enter -.I vi -and to write out our file using either -\fBZZ\fR or \fB:w\fR\s-2CR\s0.

These commands should be used only rarely, and with -caution, as it is not possible to recover the changes you have made after -you discard them in this manner. -.PP -You can edit a different file without leaving the editor by giving the -command \fB:e\fR\ \fIname\fR\s-2CR\s0. If you have not written out -your file before you try to do this, then the editor will tell you this, -and delay editing the other file. You can then give the command -\fB:w\fR\s-2CR\s0 to save your work and then the \fB:e\fR\ \fIname\fR\s-2CR\s0 -command again, or carefully give the command \fB:e!\fR\ \fIname\fR\s-2CR\s0, -which edits the other file discarding the changes you have made to the -current file. -To have the editor automatically save changes, -include -.I "set autowrite" -in your EXINIT, -and use \fB:n\fP instead of \fB:e\fP. -.NH 2 -Escaping to a shell -.PP -You can get to a shell to execute a single command by giving a -.I vi -command of the form \fB:!\fIcmd\fR\s-2CR\s0. -The system will run the single command -.I cmd -and when the command finishes, the editor will ask you to hit a \s-2RETURN\s0 -to continue. When you have finished looking at the output on the screen, -you should hit \s-2RETURN\s0 and the editor will clear the screen and -redraw it. You can then continue editing. -You can also give another \fB:\fR command when it asks you for a \s-2RETURN\s0; -in this case the screen will not be redrawn. -.PP -If you wish to execute more than one command in the shell, then you can -give the command \fB:sh\fR\s-2CR\s0. -This will give you a new shell, and when you finish with the shell, ending -it by typing a \fB^D\fR, the editor will clear the screen and continue. -.PP -On systems which support it, \fB^Z\fP will suspend the editor -and return to the (top level) shell. -When the editor is resumed, the screen will be redrawn. -.NH 2 -Marking and returning -.PP -The command \fB\(ga\(ga\fR returned to the previous place -after a motion of the cursor by a command such as \fB/\fR, \fB?\fR or -\fBG\fR. You can also mark lines in the file with single letter tags -and return to these marks later by naming the tags. Try marking the -current line with the command \fBm\fR\fIx\fR, where you should pick some -letter for \fIx\fR, say `a'. Then move the cursor to a different line -(any way you like) and hit \fB\(gaa\fR. The cursor will return to the -place which you marked. -Marks last only until you edit another file. -.PP -When using operators such as -.B d -and referring to marked lines, it is often desirable to delete whole lines -rather than deleting to the exact position in the line marked by \fBm\fR. -In this case you can use the form \fB\(aa\fR\fIx\fR rather than -\fB\(ga\fR\fIx\fR. Used without an operator, \fB\(aa\fR\fIx\fR will move to -the first non-white character of the marked line; similarly \fB\(aa\(aa\fR -moves to the first non-white character of the line containing the previous -context mark \fB\(ga\(ga\fR. -.NH 2 -Adjusting the screen -.PP -If the screen image is messed up because of a transmission error to your -terminal, or because some program other than the editor wrote output -to your terminal, you can hit a \fB^L\fR, the \s-2ASCII\s0 form-feed -character, to cause the screen to be refreshed. -.PP -On a dumb terminal, if there are @ lines in the middle of the screen -as a result of line deletion, you may get rid of these lines by typing -\fB^R\fR to cause the editor to retype the screen, closing up these holes. -.PP -Finally, if you wish to place a certain line on the screen at the top -middle or bottom of the screen, you can position the cursor to that line, -and then give a \fBz\fR command. -You should follow the \fBz\fR command with a \s-2RETURN\s0 if you want -the line to appear at the top of the window, a \fB.\fR if you want it -at the center, or a \fB\-\fR if you want it at the bottom. -.NH 1 -Special topics -.NH 2 -Editing on slow terminals -.PP -When you are on a slow terminal, it is important to limit the amount -of output which is generated to your screen so that you will not suffer -long delays, waiting for the screen to be refreshed. We have already -pointed out how the editor optimizes the updating of the screen during -insertions on dumb terminals to limit the delays, and how the editor erases -lines to @ when they are deleted on dumb terminals. -.PP -The use of the slow terminal insertion mode is controlled by the -.I slowopen -option. You can force the editor to use this mode even on faster terminals -by giving the command \fB:se slow\fR\s-2CR\s0. If your system is sluggish -this helps lessen the amount of output coming to your terminal. -You can disable this option by \fB:se noslow\fR\s-2CR\s0. -.PP -The editor can simulate an intelligent terminal on a dumb one. Try -giving the command \fB:se redraw\fR\s-2CR\s0. This simulation generates -a great deal of output and is generally tolerable only on lightly loaded -systems and fast terminals. You can disable this by giving the command - \fB:se noredraw\fR\s-2CR\s0. -.PP -The editor also makes editing more pleasant at low speed by starting -editing in a small window, and letting the window expand as you edit. -This works particularly well on intelligent terminals. The editor can -expand the window easily when you insert in the middle of the screen -on these terminals. If possible, try the editor on an intelligent terminal -to see how this works. -.PP -You can control the size of the window which is redrawn each time the -screen is cleared by giving window sizes as argument to the commands -which cause large screen motions: -.DS -.B ": / ? [[ ]] \(ga \(aa" -.DE -Thus if you are searching for a particular instance of a common string -in a file you can precede the first search command by a small number, -say 3, and the editor will draw three line windows around each instance -of the string which it locates. -.PP -You can easily expand or contract the window, placing the current line -as you choose, by giving a number on a \fBz\fR command, after the \fBz\fR -and before the following \s-2RETURN\s0, \fB.\fR or \fB\-\fR. Thus the -command \fBz5.\fR redraws the screen with the current line in the center -of a five line window.\*(dg -.FS -\*(dg Note that the command \fB5z.\fR has an entirely different effect, -placing line 5 in the center of a new window. -.FE -.PP -If the editor is redrawing or otherwise updating large portions of the -display, you can interrupt this updating by hitting a \s-2DEL\s0 or \s-2RUB\s0 -as usual. If you do this you may partially confuse the editor about -what is displayed on the screen. You can still edit the text on -the screen if you wish; clear up the confusion -by hitting a \fB^L\fR; or move or search again, ignoring the -current state of the display. -.PP -See section 7.8 on \fIopen\fR mode for another way to use the -.I vi -command set on slow terminals. -.NH 2 -Options, set, and editor startup files -.PP -The editor has a set of options, some of which have been mentioned above. -The most useful options are given in the following table. -.KF -.TS -lb lb lb lb -l l l a. -Name Default Description -_ -autoindent noai Supply indentation automatically -autowrite noaw Automatic write before \fB:n\fR, \fB:ta\fR, \fB^\(ua\fR, \fB!\fR -ignorecase noic Ignore case in searching -lisp nolisp \fB( { ) }\fR commands deal with S-expressions -list nolist Tabs print as ^I; end of lines marked with $ -magic nomagic The characters .

Despair not, the editor saves the last -9 deleted blocks of text in a set of numbered registers 1\-9. -You can get the \fIn\fR'th previous deleted text back in your file by -the command -"\fR\fIn\fR\|\fBp\fR. -The "\fR here says that a buffer name is to follow, -\fIn\fR is the number of the buffer you wish to try -(use the number 1 for now), -and -.B p -is the put command, which puts text in the buffer after the cursor. -If this doesn't bring back the text you wanted, hit -.B u -to undo this and then -\fB\&.\fR -(period) -to repeat the put command. -In general the -\fB\&.\fR -command will repeat the last change you made. -As a special case, when the last command refers to a numbered text buffer, -the \fB.\fR command increments the number of the buffer before repeating -the command. Thus a sequence of the form -.DS -\fB"1pu.u.u.\fR -.DE -will, if repeated long enough, show you all the deleted text which has -been saved for you. -You can omit the -.B u -commands here to gather up all this text in the buffer, or stop after any -\fB\&.\fR command to keep just the then recovered text. -The command -.B P -can also be used rather than -.B p -to put the recovered text before rather than after the cursor. -.NH 2 -Recovering lost files -.PP -If the system crashes, you can recover the work you were doing -to within a few changes. You will normally receive mail when you next -login giving you the name of the file which has been saved for you. -You should then change to the directory where you were when the system -crashed and give a command of the form: -.DS -% \fBvi \-r\fR \fIname\fR -.DE -replacing \fIname\fR with the name of the file which you were editing. -This will recover your work to a point near where you left off.\*(dg -.FS -\*(dg In rare cases, some of the lines of the file may be lost. The -editor will give you the numbers of these lines and the text of the lines -will be replaced by the string `LOST'. These lines will almost always -be among the last few which you changed. You can either choose to discard -the changes which you made (if they are easy to remake) or to replace -the few lost lines by hand. -.FE -.PP -You can get a listing of the files which are saved for you by giving -the command: -.DS -% \fBvi \-r\fR -.DE -If there is more than one instance of a particular file saved, the editor -gives you the newest instance each time you recover it. You can thus -get an older saved copy back by first recovering the newer copies. -.PP -For this feature to work, -.I vi -must be correctly installed by a super user on your system, -and the -.I mail -program must exist to receive mail. -The invocation ``\fIvi -r\fP'' will not always list all saved files, -but they can be recovered even if they are not listed. -.NH 2 -Continuous text input -.PP -When you are typing in large amounts of text it is convenient to have -lines broken near the right margin automatically. You can cause this -to happen by giving the command -\fB:se wm=10\fR\s-2CR\s0. -This causes all lines to be broken at a space at least 10 columns -from the right hand edge of the screen. -.PP -If the editor breaks an input line and you wish to put it back together -you can tell it to join the lines with \fBJ\fR. You can give \fBJ\fR -a count of the number of lines to be joined as in \fB3J\fR to join 3 -lines. The editor supplies white space, if appropriate, -at the juncture of the joined -lines, and leaves the cursor at this white space. -You can kill the white space with \fBx\fR if you don't want it. -.NH 2 -Features for editing programs -.PP -The editor has a number of commands for editing programs. -The thing that most distinguishes editing of programs from editing of text -is the desirability of maintaining an indented structure to the body of -the program. The editor has a -.I autoindent -facility for helping you generate correctly indented programs. -.PP -To enable this facility you can give the command \fB:se ai\fR\s-2CR\s0. -Now try opening a new line with \fBo\fR and type some characters on the -line after a few tabs. If you now start another line, notice that the -editor supplies white space at the beginning of the line to line it up -with the previous line. You cannot backspace over this indentation, -but you can use \fB^D\fR key to backtab over the supplied indentation. -.PP -Each time you type \fB^D\fR you back up one position, normally to an -8 column boundary. This amount is settable; the editor has an option -called -.I shiftwidth -which you can set to change this value. -Try giving the command \fB:se sw=4\fR\s-2CR\s0 -and then experimenting with autoindent again. -.PP -For shifting lines in the program left and right, there are operators -.B < -and -.B >. -These shift the lines you specify right or left by one -.I shiftwidth. -Try -.B << -and -.B >> -which shift one line left or right, and -.B L -shifting the rest of the display left and right. -.PP -If you have a complicated expression and wish to see how the parentheses -match, put the cursor at a left or right parenthesis and hit \fB%\fR. -This will show you the matching parenthesis. -This works also for braces { and }, and brackets [ and ]. -.PP -If you are editing C programs, you can use the \fB[[\fR and \fB]]\fR keys -to advance or retreat to a line starting with a \fB{\fR, i.e. a function -declaration at a time. When \fB]]\fR is used with an operator it stops -after a line which starts with \fB}\fR; this is sometimes useful with -\fBy]]\fR. -.NH 2 -Filtering portions of the buffer -.PP -You can run system commands over portions of the buffer using the operator -\fB!\fR. -You can use this to sort lines in the buffer, or to reformat portions -of the buffer with a pretty-printer. -Try typing in a list of random words, one per line and ending them -with a blank line. Back up to the beginning of the list, and then give -the command \fB!}sort\fR\s-2CR\s0. This says to sort the next paragraph -of material, and the blank line ends a paragraph. -.NH 2 -Commands for editing \s-2LISP\s0 -.PP -If you are editing a \s-2LISP\s0 program you should set the option -.I lisp -by doing -\fB:se\ lisp\fR\s-2CR\s0. -This changes the \fB(\fR and \fB)\fR commands to move backward and forward -over s-expressions. -The \fB{\fR and \fB}\fR commands are like \fB(\fR and \fB)\fR but don't -stop at atoms. These can be used to skip to the next list, or through -a comment quickly. -.PP -The -.I autoindent -option works differently for \s-2LISP\s0, supplying indent to align at -the first argument to the last open list. If there is no such argument -then the indent is two spaces more than the last level. -.PP -There is another option which is useful for typing in \s-2LISP\s0, the -.I showmatch -option. -Try setting it with -\fB:se sm\fR\s-2CR\s0 -and then try typing a `(' some words and then a `)'. Notice that the -cursor shows the position of the `(' which matches the `)' briefly. -This happens only if the matching `(' is on the screen, and the cursor -stays there for at most one second. -.PP -The editor also has an operator to realign existing lines as though they -had been typed in with -.I lisp -and -.I autoindent -set. This is the \fB=\fR operator. -Try the command \fB=%\fR at the beginning of a function. This will realign -all the lines of the function declaration. -.PP -When you are editing \s-2LISP\s0,, the \fB[[\fR and \fR]]\fR advance -and retreat to lines beginning with a \fB(\fR, and are useful for dealing -with entire function definitions. -.NH 2 -Macros -.PP -.I Vi -has a parameterless macro facility, which lets you set it up so that -when you hit a single keystroke, the editor will act as though -you had hit some longer sequence of keys. You can set this up if -you find yourself typing the same sequence of commands repeatedly. -.PP -Briefly, there are two flavors of macros: -.IP a) -Ones where you put the macro body in a buffer register, say \fIx\fR. -You can then type \fB@x\fR to invoke the macro. The \fB@\fR may be followed -by another \fB@\fR to repeat the last macro. -.IP b) -You can use the -.I map -command from -.I vi -(typically in your -.I EXINIT ) -with a command of the form: -.DS -:map \fIlhs\fR \fIrhs\fR\s-2CR\f0 -.DE -mapping -.I lhs -into -.I rhs. -There are restrictions: -.I lhs -should be one keystroke (either 1 character or one function key) -since it must be entered within one second -(unless -.I notimeout -is set, in which case you can type it as slowly as you wish, -and -.I vi -will wait for you to finish it before it echoes anything). -The -.I lhs -can be no longer than 10 characters, the -.I rhs -no longer than 100. -To get a space, tab or newline into -.I lhs -or -.I rhs -you should escape them with a \fB^V\fR. -(It may be necessary to double the \fB^V\fR if the map -command is given inside -.I vi, -rather than in -.I ex.) -Spaces and tabs inside the -.I rhs -need not be escaped. -.PP -Thus to make the \fBq\fR key write and exit the editor, you can give -the command -.DS -:map q :wq\fB^V^V\fP\s-2CR CR\s0 -.DE -which means that whenever you type \fBq\fR, it will be as though you -had typed the four characters \fB:wq\fR\s-2CR\s0. -A \fB^V\fR's is needed because without it the \s-2CR\s0 would end the -\fB:\fR command, rather than becoming part of the -.I map -definition. -There are two -.B ^V 's -because from within -.I vi , -two -.B ^V 's -must be typed to get one. -The first \s-2CR\s0 is part of the -.I rhs , -the second terminates the : command. -.PP -Macros can be deleted with -.DS -unmap lhs -.DE -.PP -If the -.I lhs -of a macro is ``#0'' through ``#9'', this maps the particular function key -instead of the 2 character ``#'' sequence. So that terminals without -function keys can access such definitions, the form ``#x'' will mean function -key -.I x -on all terminals (and need not be typed within one second.) -The character ``#'' can be changed by using a macro in the usual way: -.DS -:map \fB^V^V^I\fP # -.DE -to use tab, for example. (This won't affect the -.I map -command, which still uses -.B #, -but just the invocation from visual mode. -.PP -The undo command reverses an entire macro call as a unit, -if it made any changes. -.PP -Placing a `!' after the word -.B map -causes the mapping to apply -to input mode, rather than command mode. -Thus, to arrange for \fB^T\fP to be the same as 4 spaces in input mode, -you can type: -.DS -:map \fB^T\fP \fB^V\fP\o'b/'\o'b/'\o'b/'\o'b/' -.DE -where -.B \o'b/' -is a blank. -The \fB^V\fP is necessary to prevent the blanks from being taken as -white space between the -.I lhs -and -.I rhs . -.NH -Word Abbreviations -.PP -A feature similar to macros in input mode is word abbreviation. -This allows you to type a short word and have it expanded into -a longer word or words. -The commands are -.B :abbreviate -and -.B :unabbreviate -(\fB:ab\fP -and -.B :una ) -and have the same syntax as -.B :map . -For example: -.DS -:ab eecs Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences -.DE -causes the word `eecs' to always be changed into the -phrase `Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences'. -Word abbreviation is different from macros in that -only whole words are affected. -If `eecs' were typed as part of a larger word, it would -be left alone. -Also, the partial word is echoed as it is typed. -There is no need for an abbreviation to be a single keystroke, -as it should be with a macro. -.NH 2 -Abbreviations -.PP -The editor has a number of short -commands which abbreviate longer commands which we -have introduced here. You can find these commands easily -on the quick reference card. -They often save a bit of typing and you can learn them as convenient. -.NH 1 -Nitty-gritty details -.NH 2 -Line representation in the display -.PP -The editor folds long logical lines onto many physical lines in the display. -Commands which advance lines advance logical lines and will skip -over all the segments of a line in one motion. The command \fB|\fR moves -the cursor to a specific column, and may be useful for getting near the -middle of a long line to split it in half. Try \fB80|\fR on a line which -is more than 80 columns long.\*(dg -.FS -\*(dg You can make long lines very easily by using \fBJ\fR to join together -short lines. -.FE -.PP -The editor only puts full lines on the display; if there is not enough -room on the display to fit a logical line, the editor leaves the physical -line empty, placing only an @ on the line as a place holder. When you -delete lines on a dumb terminal, the editor will often just clear the -lines to @ to save time (rather than rewriting the rest of the screen.) -You can always maximize the information on the screen by giving the \fB^R\fR -command. -.PP -If you wish, you can have the editor place line numbers before each line -on the display. Give the command \fB:se nu\fR\s-2CR\s0 to enable -this, and the command \fB:se nonu\fR\s-2CR\s0 to turn it off. -You can have tabs represented as \fB^I\fR and the ends of lines indicated -with `$' by giving the command \fB:se list\fR\s-2CR\s0; -\fB:se nolist\fR\s-2CR\s0 turns this off. -.PP -Finally, lines consisting of only the character `~' are displayed when -the last line in the file is in the middle of the screen. These represent -physical lines which are past the logical end of file. -.NH 2 -Counts -.PP -Most -.I vi -commands will use a preceding count to affect their behavior in some way. -The following table gives the common ways in which the counts are used: -.DS -.TS -l lb. -new window size : / ? [[ ]] \` \' -scroll amount ^D ^U -line/column number z G | -repeat effect \fRmost of the rest\fP -.TE -.DE -.PP -The editor maintains a notion of the current default window size. -On terminals which run at speeds greater than 1200 baud -the editor uses the full terminal screen. -On terminals which are slower than 1200 baud -(most dialup lines are in this group) -the editor uses 8 lines as the default window size. -At 1200 baud the default is 16 lines. -.PP -This size is the size used when the editor clears and refills the screen -after a search or other motion moves far from the edge of the current window. -The commands which take a new window size as count all often cause the -screen to be redrawn. If you anticipate this, but do not need as large -a window as you are currently using, you may wish to change the screen -size by specifying the new size before these commands. -In any case, the number of lines used on the screen will expand if you -move off the top with a \fB\-\fR or similar command or off the bottom -with a command such as \s-2RETURN\s0 or \fB^D\fR. -The window will revert to the last specified size the next time it is -cleared and refilled.\*(dg -.FS -\*(dg But not by a \fB^L\fR which just redraws the screen as it is. -.FE -.PP -The scroll commands \fB^D\fR and \fB^U\fR likewise remember the amount -of scroll last specified, using half the basic window size initially. -The simple insert commands use a count to specify a repetition of the -inserted text. Thus \fB10a+\-\-\-\-\fR\s-2ESC\s0 will insert a grid-like -string of text. -A few commands also use a preceding count as a line or column number. -.PP -Except for a few commands which ignore any counts (such as \fB^R\fR), -the rest of the editor commands use a count to indicate a simple repetition -of their effect. Thus \fB5w\fR advances five words on the current line, -while \fB5\fR\s-2RETURN\s0 advances five lines. A very useful instance -of a count as a repetition is a count given to the \fB.\fR command, which -repeats the last changing command. If you do \fBdw\fR and then \fB3.\fR, -you will delete first one and then three words. You can then delete -two more words with \fB2.\fR. -.NH 2 -More file manipulation commands -.PP -The following table lists the file manipulation commands which you can -use when you are in -.I vi. -.KF -.DS -.TS -lb l. -:w write back changes -:wq write and quit -:x write (if necessary) and quit (same as ZZ). -:e \fIname\fP edit file \fIname\fR -:e! reedit, discarding changes -:e + \fIname\fP edit, starting at end -:e +\fIn\fP edit, starting at line \fIn\fP -:e # edit alternate file -:w \fIname\fP write file \fIname\fP -:w! \fIname\fP overwrite file \fIname\fP -:\fIx,y\fPw \fIname\fP write lines \fIx\fP through \fIy\fP to \fIname\fP -:r \fIname\fP read file \fIname\fP into buffer -:r !\fIcmd\fP read output of \fIcmd\fP into buffer -:n edit next file in argument list -:n! edit next file, discarding changes to current -:n \fIargs\fP specify new argument list -:ta \fItag\fP edit file containing tag \fItag\fP, at \fItag\fP -.TE -.DE -.KE -All of these commands are followed by a \s-2CR\s0 or \s-2ESC\s0. -The most basic commands are \fB:w\fR and \fB:e\fR. -A normal editing session on a single file will end with a \fBZZ\fR command. -If you are editing for a long period of time you can give \fB:w\fR commands -occasionally after major amounts of editing, and then finish -with a \fBZZ\fR. When you edit more than one file, you can finish -with one with a \fB:w\fR and start editing a new file by giving a \fB:e\fR -command, -or set -.I autowrite -and use \fB:n\fP . -.PP -If you make changes to the editor's copy of a file, but do not wish to -write them back, then you must give an \fB!\fR after the command you -would otherwise use; this forces the editor to discard any changes -you have made. Use this carefully. -.PP -The \fB:e\fR command can be given a \fB+\fR argument to start at the -end of the file, or a \fB+\fR\fIn\fR argument to start at line \fIn\fR\^. -In actuality, \fIn\fR may be any editor command not containing a space, -usefully a scan like \fB+/\fIpat\fR or \fB+?\fIpat\fR. -In forming new names to the \fBe\fR command, you can use the character -\fB%\fR which is replaced by the current file name, or the character -\fB#\fR which is replaced by the alternate file name. -The alternate file name is generally the last name you typed other than -the current file. Thus if you try to do a \fB:e\fR and get a diagnostic -that you haven't written the file, you can give a \fB:w\fR command and -then a \fB:e #\fR command to redo the previous \fB:e\fR. -.PP -You can write part of the buffer to a file by finding out the lines -that bound the range to be written using \fB^G\fR, and giving these -numbers after the \fB:\fR -and before the \fBw\fP, separated by \fB,\fR's. -You can also mark these lines with \fBm\fR and -then use an address of the form \fB\(aa\fR\fIx\fR\fB,\fB\(aa\fR\fIy\fR -on the \fBw\fR command here. -.PP -You can read another file into the buffer after the current line by using -the \fB:r\fR command. -You can similarly read in the output from a command, just use \fB!\fR\fIcmd\fR -instead of a file name. -.PP -If you wish to edit a set of files in succession, you can give all the -names on the command line, and then edit each one in turn using the command -\fB:n\fR. It is also possible to respecify the list of files to be edited -by giving the \fB:n\fR command a list of file names, or a pattern to -be expanded as you would have given it on the initial -.I vi -command. -.PP -If you are editing large programs, you will find the \fB:ta\fR command -very useful. It utilizes a data base of function names and their locations, -which can be created by programs such as -.I ctags, -to quickly find a function whose name you give. -If the \fB:ta\fR command will require the editor to switch files, then -you must \fB:w\fR or abandon any changes before switching. You can repeat -the \fB:ta\fR command without any arguments to look for the same tag -again. -.NH 2 -More about searching for strings -.PP -When you are searching for strings in the file with \fB/\fR and \fB?\fR, -the editor normally places you at the next or previous occurrence -of the string. If you are using an operator such as \fBd\fR, -\fBc\fR or \fBy\fR, then you may well wish to affect lines up to the -line before the line containing the pattern. You can give a search of -the form \fB/\fR\fIpat\fR\fB/\-\fR\fIn\fR to refer to the \fIn\fR'th line -before the next line containing \fIpat\fR, or you can use \fB\+\fR instead -of \fB\-\fR to refer to the lines after the one containing \fIpat\fR. -If you don't give a line offset, then the editor will affect characters -up to the match place, rather than whole lines; thus use ``+0'' to affect -to the line which matches. -.PP -You can have the editor ignore the case of words in the searches it does -by giving the command \fB:se ic\fR\s-2CR\s0. -The command \fB:se noic\fR\s-2CR\s0 turns this off. -.PP -Strings given to searches may actually be regular expressions. -If you do not want or need this facility, you should -.DS -set nomagic -.DE -in your EXINIT. -In this case, -only the characters \fB\(ua\fR and \fB$\fR are special in patterns. -The character \fB\e\fR is also then special (as it is most everywhere in -the system), and may be used to get at the -an extended pattern matching facility. -It is also necessary to use a \e before a -\fB/\fR in a forward scan or a \fB?\fR in a backward scan, in any case. -The following table gives the extended forms when \fBmagic\fR is set. -.DS -.TS -bl l. -\(ua at beginning of pattern, matches beginning of line -$ at end of pattern, matches end of line -\fB\&.\fR matches any character -\e< matches the beginning of a word -\e> matches the end of a word -[\fIstr\fP] matches any single character in \fIstr\fP -[\(ua\fIstr\fP] matches any single character not in \fIstr\fP -[\fIx\fP\-\fIy\fP] matches any character between \fIx\fP and \fIy\fP -* matches any number of the preceding pattern -.TE -.DE -If you use \fBnomagic\fR mode, then -the \fB. [\fR and \fB*\fR primitives are given with a preceding -\e. -.NH 2 -More about input mode -.PP -There are a number of characters which you can use to make corrections -during input mode. These are summarized in the following table. -.DS -.TS -lb l. -^H deletes the last input character -^W deletes the last input word, defined as by \fBb\fR -erase your erase character, same as \fB^H\fP -kill your kill character, deletes the input on this line -\e escapes a following \fB^H\fP and your erase and kill -\s-2ESC\s0 ends an insertion -\s-2DEL\s0 interrupts an insertion, terminating it abnormally -\s-2CR\s0 starts a new line -^D backtabs over \fIautoindent\fP -0^D kills all the \fIautoindent\fP -\(ua^D same as \fB0^D\fP, but restores indent next line -^V quotes the next non-printing character into the file -.TE -.DE -.PP -The most usual way of making corrections to input is by typing \fB^H\fR -to correct a single character, or by typing one or more \fB^W\fR's to -back over incorrect words. If you use \fB#\fR as your erase character -in the normal system, it will work like \fB^H\fR. -.PP -Your system kill character, normally \fB@\fR, \fB^X\fP or \fB^U\fR, -will erase all -the input you have given on the current line. -In general, you can neither -erase input back around a line boundary nor can you erase characters -which you did not insert with this insertion command. To make corrections -on the previous line after a new line has been started you can hit \s-2ESC\s0 -to end the insertion, move over and make the correction, and then return -to where you were to continue. The command \fBA\fR which appends at the -end of the current line is often useful for continuing. -.PP -If you wish to type in your erase or kill character (say # or @) then -you must precede it with a \fB\e\fR, just as you would do at the normal -system command level. A more general way of typing non-printing characters -into the file is to precede them with a \fB^V\fR. The \fB^V\fR echoes -as a \fB\(ua\fR character on which the cursor rests. This indicates that -the editor expects you to type a control character. In fact you may -type any character and it will be inserted into the file at that point.* -.FS -* This is not quite true. The implementation of the editor does -not allow the \s-2NULL\s0 (\fB^@\fR) character to appear in files. Also -the \s-2LF\s0 (linefeed or \fB^J\fR) character is used by the editor -to separate lines in the file, so it cannot appear in the middle of a -line. You can insert any other character, however, if you wait for the -editor to echo the \fB\(ua\fR before you type the character. In fact, -the editor will treat a following letter as a request for the corresponding -control character. This is the only way to type \fB^S\fR or \fB^Q\fP, -since the system normally uses them to suspend and resume output -and never gives them to the editor to process. -.FE -.PP -If you are using \fIautoindent\fR you can backtab over the indent which -it supplies by typing a \fB^D\fR. This backs up to a \fIshiftwidth\fR -boundary. -This only works immediately after the supplied \fIautoindent\fR. -.PP -When you are using \fIautoindent\fR you may wish to place a label at -the left margin of a line. The way to do this easily is to type \fB\(ua\fR -and then \fB^D\fR. The editor will move the cursor to the left margin -for one line, and restore the previous indent on the next. You can also -type a \fB0\fR followed immediately by a \fB^D\fR if you wish to kill -all the indent and not have it come back on the next line. -.NH 2 -Upper case only terminals -.PP -If your terminal has only upper case, you can still use -.I vi -by using the normal -system convention for typing on such a terminal. -Characters which you normally type are converted to lower case, and you -can type upper case letters by preceding them with a \e. -The characters { ~ } | \(ga are not available on such terminals, but you -can escape them as \e( \e\(ua \e) \e! \e\(aa. -These characters are represented on the display in the same way they -are typed.\*(dd -.FS -\*(dd The \e character you give will not echo until you type another -key. -.FE -.NH 2 -Vi and ex -.PP -.I Vi -is actually one mode of editing within the editor -.I ex. -When you are running -.I vi -you can escape to the line oriented editor of -.I ex -by giving the command -\fBQ\fR. -All of the -.B : -commands which were introduced above are available in -.I ex. -Likewise, most -.I ex -commands can be invoked from -.I vi -using :. -Just give them without the \fB:\fR and follow them with a \s-2CR\s0. -.PP -In rare instances, an internal error may occur in -.I vi. -In this case you will get a diagnostic and be left in the command mode of -.I ex. -You can then save your work and quit if you wish by giving a command -\fBx\fR after the \fB:\fR which \fIex\fR prompts you with, or you can -reenter \fIvi\fR by giving -.I ex -a -.I vi -command. -.PP -There are a number of things which you can do more easily in -.I ex -than in -.I vi. -Systematic changes in line oriented material are particularly easy. -You can read the advanced editing documents for the editor -.I ed -to find out a lot more about this style of editing. -Experienced -users often mix their use of -.I ex -command mode and -.I vi -command mode to speed the work they are doing. -.NH 2 -Open mode: vi on hardcopy terminals and ``glass tty's'' -\(dd -.PP -If you are on a hardcopy terminal or a terminal which does not have a cursor -which can move off the bottom line, you can still use the command set of -.I vi, -but in a different mode. -When you give a -.I vi -command, the editor will tell you that it is using -.I open -mode. -This name comes from the -.I open -command in -.I ex, -which is used to get into the same mode. -.PP -The only difference between -.I visual -mode -and -.I open -mode is the way in which the text is displayed. -.PP -In -.I open -mode the editor uses a single line window into the file, and moving backward -and forward in the file causes new lines to be displayed, always below the -current line. -Two commands of -.I vi -work differently in -.I open: -.B z -and -\fB^R\fR. -The -.B z -command does not take parameters, but rather draws a window of context around -the current line and then returns you to the current line. -.PP -If you are on a hardcopy terminal, -the -.B ^R -command will retype the current line. -On such terminals, the editor normally uses two lines to represent the -current line. -The first line is a copy of the line as you started to edit it, and you work -on the line below this line. -When you delete characters, the editor types a number of \e's to show -you the characters which are deleted. The editor also reprints the current -line soon after such changes so that you can see what the line looks -like again. -.PP -It is sometimes useful to use this mode on very slow terminals which -can support -.I vi -in the full screen mode. -You can do this by entering -.I ex -and using an -.I open -command. -.LP -.SH -Acknowledgements -.PP -Bruce Englar encouraged the early development of this display editor. -Peter Kessler helped bring sanity to version 2's command layout. -Bill Joy wrote versions 1 and 2.0 through 2.7, -and created the framework that users see in the present editor. -Mark Horton added macros and other features and made the -editor work on a large number of terminals and Unix systems. diff --git a/usr.bin/vi/USD.doc/vitut/vi.summary b/usr.bin/vi/USD.doc/vitut/vi.summary deleted file mode 100644 index a7d99384dc86..000000000000 --- a/usr.bin/vi/USD.doc/vitut/vi.summary +++ /dev/null @@ -1,468 +0,0 @@ -.\" Copyright (c) 1980, 1993 -.\" The Regents of the University of California.
