Chapter 11. vim—vi Improved

vim stands for "Vi Improved." It was written by Bram Moolenaar, who continues to maintain it. Today, vim is perhaps the most widely used vi clone, and there exists a separate Internet domain (vim.org) dedicated to it. Various versions of vim were used for most of the work updating this book; much of the later work was done with Version 5.0. Version 5.1 became current as the updates were finishing; this is mostly a bug fix release.
