VIM


Vim is the editor of choice for many developers and power users.

 It is basically a command line editor, that is very light on system resources. You can also get GUI based editor from the site.
 You can use this editor in all operating systems and in any desktop environments in Linux.

 many text editors and word processors require you to use the mouse to click a menu item or icon, or use the Ctrl-s hotkey combination, to save a file.

In Vim, you can save a file without your hands leaving the keyboard, and sometimes without even leaving the home keys. From Vim's insert mode, hit Escape and then :w. That's all. More on that later.
