Please forgive me if I am not posting this is the correct forum. I am extremely new at this, so please bare with me as I try to explain my problem. At work we are using Cisco Voip phones and when setting them up we first create a config file in vi editor. I first use a program called putty.

As you have read my previous article about the "less" command, if you hit the letter "v" when using "less", the default system text editor will be activated to allow you to edit the current file.

When within vim (the editor I use mostly because of the terminal integration), I want to run my script (e.g. Python or Javascript) from within vim. I do not mind if it opens a new window, I would just like to know if there is an editor command for save/run. TNX1.0E6,

My favorite editor is vim, but some others prefer nano, or emacs, nano reminds me WordStar, anyway. Cron job default editor which is invoqued by the command crontab -e is vi, while I prefer vim, and you may prefer nano, you can use this command. env EDITOR=nano crontab -e or as I usually do: env EDITOR=vim crontab -e

I use Vim a lot, and I know how I can start vim in insert mode. So I have an alias named vii in my .bash_aliases file.

On other hand I use Git a lot too, and I have this line in my .gitconfig:

[core] editor = vi

To write a commit message the vi editor is opened every time and I have to go in insert mode.
