Not really. I just want you to use vi too, it saves time, and it's REALLY simple. It just doesn't use shortcut keys.

Really, it's this simple:
Edit mode (you can edit text now): Insert key
Non-edit mode (you can't edit text now, you must enter commands): Esc key
Useful commands to use in non-edit mode:
:w Save the file.
:q Quit vi.

There, that's the easiest explanation I can give you.

DukePuke:
thats ok, understood. It works, but it is still complex. If you edited file, wrote some shit, etc, and you wanna quit without saving. I press Esc to enter "non-edit mode" and :q, but lol it prompts its not saved. Ok, i dont need to save it! i do it again, the same prompt appears. I press CTRL-C even this dont work. So : to make exit from vi, you MUST to save work. No matter what you written in there, you must save before exit

btw i understand this situation, i believe vi is old unix tool, and I am just familiar with windoze notepad (lol) so I just preparing for nix systems

Thanks

KernelPanic:
:q! Exit without Saving.

savet:
another overlooked one is :w! for overwriting read-only files.  vi can be tricky to learn, but IMO there's nothing comparable for editing purposes...
