CS21 Lab 0: UNIX and the text editor

We will learn the vim text editor by running vim on a sample tutorial file.

• open up a terminal and change to your cs21/labs/00 directory

  $ cd cs21/labs/00 
  

• now run vim swatvimtutor to open the tutorial file and work through all lessons

  $ vim swatvimtutor            
  

After doing the swatvimtutor, edit the fixme-gb.txt file and use your vim knowledge to fix the errors.

$ vim fixme-gb.txt            

I have created a short VIM Summary to help you remember the most frequently used commands. You may want to print this and bring it with you to class the first couple of weeks.

Once you are done learning vim, go back to the Lab 0 page and finish the rest of the lab.
