Linux Tutorial Series – 94 – Review

We looked at both Emacs and vi and took a stroll around their basic commands. Here are the most essential of the essential:

Emacs:

• C-x 1 (C-x means CTRL + x) for closing all but one window
• C-x C-s for saving a file
• C-Space, then C-w for cutting (killing) a piece of text
• C-y for pasting (yanking) a piece of text

vi:

• There are two modes – insert and command
• To enter insert mode, press i, or to append to the end of the line the cursor is on, press A
• Escape insert mode with Esc
• Delete characters (while in command mode) with x
• Save and quit by writing :wq and pressing Enter
