vim (vi improved)
is a variant of the well-known Unix editor vi. Like its parent, it runs
in the console and is operated exclusively with the keyboard, which makes
it very well suited for use on the FritzBox.
For beginners, its syntax is often a major hurdle, which is why some
people jokingly claim that the most important vi command is :q!
("do nothing and get out quickly"). Once that hurdle is overcome,
however, it becomes a powerful tool. Provided the user knows the
corresponding
syntax,
tasks such as search and replace, deleting/moving/copying text blocks,
and the other common operations involved in editing plain
ASCII text files can be done faster
than with almost any other tool. Regular
expressions are also a
matter of course for vim.
