vim ("vi improved") is an advanced text editor that allows syntax highlighting, word completion and has a huge amount of contributed content.

vim offers several “modes” for editing with efficiency. this makes vim a nonuserfriendly application but it is also a strength. the normal mode binds alphanumeric keys to taskoriented commands. the visual mode highlights text. the commandline mode offers more tools (for search&replace, defining functions, etc.)

vim comes with complete help.
