My Experience on This Lab
This lab gave me hands-on practice with the vi editor, which is an important tool for working in Linux environments. I learned how to navigate within a file, switch between modes, and make edits directly in the terminal.
Key Concepts I Learned
I practiced essential vi commands such as inserting and deleting text, searching for words, moving between lines and words, and replacing text throughout the document. I also reinforced the difference between insert mode and command mode, which is critical when working in vi.
Challenges Faced
At first, I found it challenging to remember which commands worked in which mode, and I sometimes got stuck in insert mode. However, using the Escape key to reset back to command mode helped me regain control. With practice, I became more comfortable navigating and editing files efficiently.
