Summary

In each chapter, I want to make sure that there has been at least one item of value that you feel you can take away with you and use; how did I do in this chapter? If you recall, we have reviewed a few shortcuts that may help us navigate the command history effectively. Quickly, we moved on to discover the text editor vi or, more commonly now, Vim. For those that need a little help getting started with Vim, we additionally have gVim available to use if we are working on the desktop. Customizing any system is important to make us feel that we own the system and it works for us. With Vim, we can use the .vimrc file found in our home directory. We were able to add a little bling to Vim with some extra key mapping and desirable options. From then on, it was straight down to work to see what Vim could do, and how the search and replace and delete options that we reviewed worked.
