“Emacs would be a great shell if it had a text editor in it.”

I have been looking for something like that forever. People keep telling me that I’m less of a man for wanting full featured GUI text editors, so I’m hoping ot l337 up a little with this guide.
To be honest I am in something of a text-editor limbo. I was a long-time Emacs user (beginning in the heady days of my Amiga). Then, at some point in the early ’90s I started using viper-mode – a Vi emulator in Emacs. It was a downhill slide from there. Now I mostly use Vi when on Windows or Linux (actually (G)ViM). I still have to look up various search modes and ranges and macro-editing functions.
oh dude. I’ve done the old ViTut tutorial. The problem is that it’s old and I’ve done it a long time ago and I’m old and I forget stuff. But thanks for the links!
Also, for the record, after looking through the Gentoo Vi cheatsheet, I don’t feel so bad about my ViMming anymore. I totally had that stuff down.

Ah, here it is
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~deboor/vi.tut
Download that and put it into a file then vi the file and go through the self-paced tutorial. It’s really quite slick

BTW, there are a number of extremely good tutorials on google “vi tutorial” (:-)). This one looked pretty good too for a cheat sheet :
