vi clone with many additional features
Project homepage: https://www.vim.org/
Description
Vim is a greatly improved version of the good old UNIX editor Vi. Many new
features have been added: multi-level undo, syntax highlighting, command line
history, on-line help, spell checking, filename completion, block operations,
script language, etc. There is also a Graphical User Interface (GUI) available.
Still, Vi compatibility is maintained, those who have Vi "in the fingers" will
feel at home. See runtime/doc/vi_diff.txt for differences with Vi.
This editor is very useful for editing programs and other plain text files. All
commands are given with normal keyboard characters, so those who can type with
ten fingers can work very fast. Additionally, function keys can be mapped to
commands by the user, and the mouse can be used.
(Note that "vim-classic" is also packaged, providing a long-term maintenance
version forked from Vim 8.2).
