Learning the vi Editor (6th Edition)

Author : Arnold Robbins For many users, working in the Unix environment means using vi, a full-screen text editor available on most Unix systems. Even those who know vi often make use of only a small number of its features. The sixth edition of Learning the vi Editor is a complete guide to text editing with vi. Early chapters cover the basics; later chapters explain more advanced editing tools, such as ex commands and global search and replacement, as well as a new feature, multiscreen editing. Today, there are a number of independently written versions of vi. Besides the original, the book now covers four other versions: nvi, elvis, vim, and vile. For easy reference, the sixth edition also includes a command summary at the end of each appropriate chapter. You’ll quickly learn the basics of editing, cursor movement, and global search and replacement, then go on to take advantage of the more subtle power of vi. Using the clones gives you added flexibility and ease of use over traditional vi. Price & avaiability Amazon Link : Learning the vi Editor (6th Edition) |

Author : Bob Glickstein Yes, it is possible to be all things to all people, if you’re talking about the Emacs editor. As a user, you can make any kind of customization you want, from choosing the keystrokes that invoke your favorite commands to creating a whole new work environment that looks like nothing ever developed before. GNU Emacs offers a full version of the Lisp programming language, allowing you to create whole new editors or just alter aspects of the many functions it already provides. In this book, Bob Glickstein delves deep into the features that permit far-reaching Emacs customizations. He teaches you the Lisp language and discusses Emacs topics (such as syntax tables and macro templates) in easy-to-digest portions. The realistic examples, each successively refined a number of times, illustrate not only Emacs Lisp, but the development process as well.

Learning the vi and Vim Editors
Posted on 27 June 2009 by admin

Author : Arnold Robbins There’s nothing that hard-core Unix and Linux users are more fanatical about than their text editor. Editors are the subject of adoration and worship, or of scorn and ridicule, depending upon whether the topic of discussion is your editor or someone else’s. vi has been the standard editor for close to 30 years. Popular on Unix and Linux, it has a growing following on Windows systems, too. Most experienced system administrators cite vi as their tool of choice. And since 1986, this book has been the guide for vi. However, Unix systems are not what they were 30 years ago, and neither is this book. While retaining all the valuable features of previous editions, the 7th edition of Learning the vi and vim Editors has been expanded to include detailed information on vim, the leading vi clone. vim is the default version of vi on most Linux systems and on Mac OS X, and is available for many other operating systems too. With this guide, you learn text editing basics and advanced tools for both editors, such as multi-window editing, how to write both interactive macros and scripts to extend the editor, and power tools for programmers — all in the easy-to-follow style that has made this book a classic. Learning the vi and vim Editors includes: A complete introduction to text editing with vi: How to move around vi in a hurry Beyond the basics, such as using buffers vi’s global search and replacement Advanced editing, including customizing vi and executing Unix commands How to make full use of vim: Extended text objects and more powerful regular expressions Multi-window editing and powerful vim scripts How to make full use of the GUI version of vim, called gvim vim’s enhancements for programmers, such as syntax highlighting, folding and extended tags Coverage of three other popular vi clones — nvi, elvis, and vile — is also included. You’ll find several valuable appendixes, including an alphabetical quick reference to both vi and ex mode commands for regular vi and for vim, plus an updated appendix on vi and the Internet. Learning either vi or vim is required knowledge if you use Linux or Unix, and in either case, reading this book is essential. After reading this book, the choice of editor will be obvious for you too. Price & avaiability Amazon Link : Learning the vi and Vim Editors |
