32 % produces six separate pages, each of which needs to be reduced to 80%.
33 % This gives the best resolution.
35 % produces three already-reduced pages.
36 % You will still need to cut and paste.
38 % produces two pages which must be printed sideways to make a

40 % For this you need a dvi device driver that can print sideways.

}
260 \centerline{(Based on VIP
\versionvip\ in GNU Emacs
\versionemacs)
}
264 \section{Loading VIP
}
266 Just type
\kbd{M-x vip-mode
} followed by
\kbd{RET
}
270 VIP has three modes:
{\it emacs mode
},
{\it vi mode
} and
{\it insert mode
}.
271 Mode line tells you which mode you are in.
272 In emacs mode you can do all the normal GNU Emacs editing.
273 This card explains only vi mode and insert mode.
274 {\bf GNU Emacs Reference Card
} explains emacs mode.
275 You can switch modes as follows.
277 \key{from emacs mode to vi mode
}{C-z
}
278 \key{from vi mode to emacs mode
}{C-z
}
279 \metax{from vi mode to insert mode
}{i, I, a, A, o, O
{\rm or
} C-o
}
280 \key{from insert mode to vi mode
}{ESC
}
282 If you wish to be in vi mode just after you startup Emacs,
286 \kbd{(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook 'vip-mode)
}
288 in your
\kbd{.emacs
} file.
289 Or, you can put the following alias in your
\kbd{.cshrc
} file.
292 \kbd{alias vip 'emacs \\!* -f vip-mode'
}
295 \section{Insert Mode
}
296 Insert mode is like emacs mode except for the following.
298 \key{go back to vi mode
}{ESC
}
299 \key{delete previous character
}{C-h
}
300 \key{delete previous word
}{C-w
}
301 \key{emulate
\kbd{ESC
} key in emacs mode
}{C-z
}
303 The rest of this card explains commands in
{\bf vi mode
}.
305 \section{Getting Information on VIP
}
307 Execute info command by typing
\kbd{M-x info
} and select menu item
310 \key{describe function attached to the key
{\it x
}}{C-h k
{\it x
}}
312 \section{Leaving Emacs
}
314 \key{suspend Emacs
}{X Z
{\rm or
} :st
}
315 \metax{exit Emacs permanently
}{Z Z
{\rm or
} X C
{\rm or
} :q
}
317 \section{Error Recovery
}
319 \key{abort partially typed or executing command
}{C-g
}
320 \key{redraw messed up screen
}{C-l
}
321 \metax{{\bf recover
} a file lost by a system crash
}{M-x recover-file
}
322 \metax{restore a buffer to its original contents
}{M-x revert-buffer
}
324 \shortcopyrightnotice
328 Most commands in vi mode accept a
{\it count
} which can be supplied as a
329 prefix to the commands. In most cases, if a count is given, the
330 command is executed that many times. E.g.,
\kbd{5 d d
} deletes
5
333 %\shortcopyrightnotice
336 There are
26 registers (
\kbd{a
} to
\kbd{z
}) that can store texts
338 You can append a text at the end of a register (say
\kbd{x
}) by
339 specifying the register name in capital letter (say
\kbd{X
}).
340 There are also
9 read only registers (
\kbd{1} to
\kbd{9}) that store
341 up to
9 previous changes.
342 We will use
{\it x\/
} to denote a register.

470 \section{Modifying Commands
}
472 The delete (yank, change) commands explained below accept a motion command as
473 their argument and delete (yank, change) the region determined by the motion
474 command. Motion commands are classified into
{\it point commands
} and
475 {\it line commands
}. In the case of line commands, whole lines will
476 be affected by the command. Motion commands will be represented by
479 The point commands are as follows:
482 \kbd{h l
0 ^ \$ w W b B e E ( ) / ?\ ` f F t T \% ; ,
}
484 The line commands are as follows:
487 \kbd{j k + - H M L \
{ \
} G '

517 Undo is undoable by
\kbd{u
} and repeatable by
\kbd{.
}.
518 For example,
\kbd{u...
} will undo
4 previous changes.
519 A
\kbd{.

}
548 In VIP some keys behave rather differently from Vi.
549 The table below lists such keys, and you can get the effect of typing
550 these keys by typing the corresponding keys in the VIP column.

564 (Strictly speaking,
\kbd{C

566 \section{Customization
}
568 By default, search is case sensitive.
569 You can change this by including the following line in your
\kbd{.vip
} file.

591 Include (some of) following lines in your
\kbd{.vip

592 to restore Vi key bindings.
