====== Vim Text Editor ======

The vim text editor is built into the [[newdevs:landscape:tools:bash|bash console]] (similar to notepad in Windows). 

  * ''vim'' --> opens vim text editor in command mode
  * ''vim (filename)'' --> opens file in vim text editor

Vim opens in command mode, which allows a variety of functions, but does not allow direct editing.
  * ''i'' --> puts you into edit mode
  * ''esc'' --> puts you back into command mode from edit mode
  * '':q'' --> takes you out of vim
  * '':w'' --> saves your work
  * '':wq'' --> saves & closes
  * '':set number'' --> turns on line numbers
  * ''?abc'' --> searches for occurrences of 'abc'
