Hour 11. Advanced vi Tricks, Tools, and Techniques

In the preceding hour, you learned what probably seems like a ton of vi commands that enable you to easily move about in files, insert text, delete other text, search for specific patterns, and move from file to file without leaving the program. This hour expands your expertise by showing you some more powerful vi commands. Before you begin this hour, I strongly recommend that you use vi to work with a few files. Make sure you're comfortable with the different modes of the program.
