Vim
Vim is the universal text editor installed on every UNIX system. While Neovim innovates, Vim focuses on backward compatibility and stability.
When to Use
- SSH / Servers: It is always there.
viusually aliases tovim. - Stability: Scripts written in 2005 still work.
- Resource Constraints: Runs on embedded routers.
Core Concepts
Modes
- Normal: Navigation (
hjkl). - Insert: Typing (
i,a). - Visual: Selection (
v). - Command: Ex commands (
:w,:q).
Composability
Operator + Motion = Action.
d (delete) + w (word) = dw.
c (change) + i (inside) + " (quote) = ci".
Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Learn the Basics:
vimtutoris mandatory for every developer. - Use
.vimrc: Keep a minimal config for servers (line numbers, syntax on). - Use Neovim for IDE: For daily coding, Neovim is preferred. Use Vim for quick edits.
Don't:
- Don't use arrow keys: Force yourself to use
hjkl.
