Lab 3 – VI Editor

In this lab, we began using the VI editor in Linux. It is a text editing tool that is used to create scripts that execute commands through an inputted command line. There are three modes of operation: Insert (allows you to type input directly into the file), Command (default mode for navigation and copying/pasting), and Last Line (executes saving and quitting on the last line of the screen). Some flaws I faced were searching for word occurrences and deleting their current lines in the terminal. Another flaw I faced was this assignment requiring individual screenshots of the commands used and their outputs, but I provided only the outputs. Overall, an interesting and efficient tool for terminal navigation and script editing.
