From previous posts you will know I’m a big fan of the VI editor. But….
vi has several really annoying “features” like using arrow keys when in edit mode. Anybody who’s done that will know what I mean. I’ve lived with that for years now and only today I find a small snippet that said “The default vi program has some strange behaviour on Ubuntu and Debian; to fix this, we install vim-full“. Call me backward but I really didn’t know. This update installs a really improved version of vi that fixes all those niggly bits. And no, it does not go overboard. You will still have the vi touch&feel.
What a difference a little snippet makes!!! So for all you VI fans out there do a…
sudo apt-get install vim-full
…for a happy ever after.
