Vim and Nano Assignment
ViM is my preferred editor of choice hands down. Working with our proxy server at work, almost every week I shell in, use ViM to make changes to the config file, restart the process and exit. That said I use about 1% of the shortcuts in ViM with any regularity. It was just a few months ago I learned how to search :-/ So the ViM tutor assignment was really great. It was fun to go through and practice the commands (most of them) that I never use because I don’t know them. Some are useful, some aren’t especially practical unless you’re a programmer or using ViM to do programming. Generally, I use the arrow keys to navigate the file, hit i to make changes and use delete to delete characters etc. Nothing fancy. I’ll have to try the ViM tutor again to learn some more commands.
Nano is the preferred text editor of my boss so I’m somewhat familiar with it. I didn’t have any problems manipulating the sources.list file or the bash.rc file. It was all pretty straight forward.
