Listmates,
One are where I can use help is vi configuration. With the latest updates to vi and I guess readline, vi behaves very differently than it did just before the update. Specifically, the screen flashes white/black when the cursor is in column 1 if a left cursor is pressed or if vi toggles itself out of input mode.
How can I get rid of the flashing and get rid of vi taking itself out of input/replace mode when it gets to column 1?
The current behavior is better than when I first tried it several weeks ago, but it is still way different from any vi I have used before. Anybody got a handy reference for handling vi changes in the latest version?
Hello,
what abot using vim?
vi used to be vim and is nvi now.
What Stefan really means here (I think) is "... on Arch"
BTW , maybe the developers should consider to use the ex package in AUR rather than nvi. If it is only for having a small editor on the install cd, ex would suit better.
