Vim Navigation and Editing

Practice vim navigation keys (hjkl) and editing commands (dd, yy, p, u).

Step 1

Create a multi-line file for practicing vim navigation.

Type: echo -e 'Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3\nLine 4\nLine 5' > lines.txt

echo -e 'Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3\nLine 4\nLine 5' > lines.txt

Step 2

Open the file in vim. Practice navigation: h(left), j(down), k(up), l(right). Use dd to delete a line, then u to undo. When done, exit with :q!

Step 3

Verify the file is unchanged (you used :q! to quit without saving).

Step 4

Open the file again. Use yy to yank (copy) a line, move with j, then p to paste below. Use dd to delete a line. Save with :wq.

Step 5

Check the result of your vim editing.
