Mon Apr 25 13:37:00 UTC 2011 Slackware 13.37 x86_64 stable is released! Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team, the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing a great forum for collaboration and testing. The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription. As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions, and feedback. :-) Have fun!

Files</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt class="COMMAND">vi</tt> allows you to open files from command mode as well as
|
|
specifying a file on the command line to open. To open the file <tt
|
|
class="FILENAME">/etc/lilo.conf</tt>:</p>
|
|
|
|
<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>
|
|
<pre class="SCREEN">
|
|
<kbd class="USERINPUT">:e /etc/lilo.conf</kbd>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you have made changes to the current buffer without saving, <tt
|
|
class="COMMAND">vi</tt> will complain. You can still open the file without saving the
|
|
current buffer by typing <b class="KEYCAP">:e!</b>, followed by a space and the filename.
|
|
In general, <tt class="COMMAND">vi</tt>'s warnings can be suppressed by following the
|
|
command with an exclamation mark.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you want to reopen the current file, you can do so simply by typing <b
|
|
class="KEYCAP">e!</b>. This is particularly useful if you have somehow messed up the file
|
|
and want to reopen it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Some <tt class="COMMAND">vi</tt> clones (for example, <tt class="COMMAND">vim</tt>)
|
|
allow for multiple buffers to be open at the same time. For example, to open up the file
|
|
<tt class="FILENAME">09-vi.sgml</tt> in my home directory while another file was open, I
|
|
would type:</p>
|
|
|
|
<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>
|
|
<pre class="SCREEN">
|
|
<kbd class="USERINPUT">:split ~/09-vi.sgml</kbd>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<p>The new file is displayed on the top half of the screen, and the old file is displayed
|
|
in the bottom half of the screen. There are a lot of commands that manipulate the split
|
|
screen, and many of these commands start to resemble something out of <tt
|
|
class="COMMAND">Emacs</tt> The best place to look up these commands would be the man page
|
|
for your vi clone. Note that many clones do not support the split-screen idea, so you
|
|
might not be able to use it at all.</p>
