29 % This file is intended to be processed by plain TeX (TeX82).
31 % The final reference card has six columns, three on each side.
32 % This file can be used to produce it in any of three ways:
33 % 1 column per page
34 % produces six separate pages, each of which needs to be reduced to 80%.
35 % This gives the best resolution.
36 % 2 columns per page
37 % produces three already-reduced pages.
38 % You will still need to cut and paste.
39 % 3 columns per page
40 % produces two pages which must be printed sideways to make a
41 % ready-to-use 8.5 x 11 inch reference card.
42 % For this you need a dvi device driver that can print sideways.
43 % Which mode to use is controlled by setting \columnsperpage above.

255 \title{VIP Quick Reference Card}
257 \centerline{(for version 3.5 under GNU Emacs version 18)}
259 %\copyrightnotice
261 \section{Loading VIP}
263 Just type \kbd{M-x vip-mode} followed by \kbd{RET}
265 \section{VIP Modes}
267 VIP has three modes: {\it emacs mode}, {\it vi mode} and {\it insert mode}.
268 Mode line tells you which mode you are in.
269 In emacs mode you can do all the normal GNU Emacs editing.
270 This card explains only vi mode and insert mode.
271 {\bf GNU Emacs Reference Card} explains emacs mode.
272 You can switch modes as follows.
274 \key{from emacs mode to vi mode}{C-z}
275 \key{from vi mode to emacs mode}{C-z}
276 \metax{from vi mode to insert mode}{i, I, a, A, o, O {\rm or} C-o}
277 \key{from insert mode to vi mode}{ESC}
279 If you wish to be in vi mode just after you startup Emacs,
280 include the line:
282 \hskip 5ex
283 \kbd{(setq term-setup-hook 'vip-mode)}
285 in your \kbd{.emacs} file.
286 Or, you can put the following alias in your \kbd{.cshrc} file.
288 \hskip 5ex
289 \kbd{alias vip 'emacs \\!* -f vip-mode'}
292 \section{Insert Mode}
293 Insert mode is like emacs mode except for the following.
295 \key{go back to vi mode}{ESC}
296 \key{delete previous character}{C-h}
297 \key{delete previous word}{C-w}
298 \key{emulate \kbd{ESC} key in emacs mode}{C-z}
300 The rest of this card explains commands in {\bf vi mode}.
302 \section{Getting Information on VIP}
304 Execute info command by typing \kbd{M-x info} and select menu item
305 \kbd{vip}. Also:
307 \key{describe function attached to the key {\it x}}{C-h k {\it x}}
309 \section{Leaving Emacs}
311 \key{suspend Emacs}{X Z {\rm or} :st}
312 \metax{exit Emacs permanently}{Z Z {\rm or} X C {\rm or} :q}
314 \section{Error Recovery}
316 \key{abort partially typed or executing command}{C-g}
317 \key{redraw messed up screen}{C-l}
318 \metax{{\bf recover} a file lost by a system crash}{M-x recover-file}
319 \metax{restore a buffer to its original contents}{M-x revert-buffer}
321 \shortcopyrightnotice
323 \section{Counts}
325 Most commands in vi mode accept a {\it count} which can be supplied as a
326 prefix to the commands. In most cases, if a count is given, the
327 command is executed that many times. E.g., \kbd{5 d d} deletes 5
328 lines.
330 %\shortcopyrightnotice
331 \section{Registers}
333 There are 26 registers (\kbd{a} to \kbd{z}) that can store texts
334 and marks.
335 You can append a text at the end of a register (say \kbd{x}) by
336 specifying the register name in capital letter (say \kbd{X}).
337 There are also 9 read only registers (\kbd{1} to \kbd{9}) that store
338 up to 9 previous changes.
339 We will use {\it x\/} to denote a register.

467 \section{Modifying Commands}
469 The delete (yank, change) commands explained below accept a motion command as
470 their argument and delete (yank, change) the region determined by the motion
471 command. Motion commands are classified into {\it point commands} and
472 {\it line commands}. In the case of line commands, whole lines will
473 be affected by the command. Motion commands will be represented by
474 {\it m} below.
476 The point commands are as follows:
478 \hskip 5ex
479 \kbd{h l 0 ^ \$ w W b B e E ( ) / ?\ ` f F t T \% ; ,}
481 The line commands are as follows:
483 \hskip 5ex
484 \kbd{j k + - H M L \{ \} G '}
486 \subsection{Delete/Yank/Change Commands}
488 \paralign to \hsize{#\tabskip=10pt plus 1 fil&#\tabskip=0pt&#\tabskip=0pt&#\cr
489 \fourcol{}{{\bf delete}}{{\bf yank}}{{\bf change}}

491 \fourcol{... into register {\it x}}{" {\it x\/} d {\it m}}{" {\it x\/} y {\it m}}{" {\it x\/} c {\it m}}

496 \fourcol{a character after point}{x}{y l}{c l}
497 \fourcol{a character before point}{DEL}{y h}{c h}
500 \subsection{Put Back Commands}
502 Deleted/yanked/changed text can be put back by the following commands.
504 \key{{\bf Put} back at point/above line}{P}
505 \key{... from register {\it x}}{" {\it x\/} P}
506 \key{{\bf put} back after point/below line}{p}
507 \key{... from register {\it x}}{" {\it x\/} p}
509 \subsection{Repeating and Undoing Modifications}
511 \key{{\bf undo} last change}{u {\rm or} :und}
512 \key{repeat last change}{.\ {\rm (dot)}}
514 Undo is undoable by \kbd{u} and repeatable by \kbd{.}.
515 For example, \kbd{u...} will undo 4 previous changes.
516 A \kbd{.} after \kbd{5dd} is equivalent to \kbd{5dd},
517 while \kbd{3.} after \kbd{5dd} is equivalent to \kbd{3dd}.
519 \section{Miscellaneous Commands}

539 \key{check spelling of the words in the region}{\# s {\it m}}
541 \section{Differences from Vi}
543 \beginindentedkeys
545 In VIP some keys behave rather differently from Vi.
546 The table below lists such keys, and you can get the effect of typing
547 these keys by typing the corresponding keys in the VIP column.
549 \paralign to \hsize{#\tabskip=10pt plus 1 fil&#\tabskip=0pt&#\cr
550 \threecol{}{{\bf Vi}}{{\bf VIP}}

552 \threecol{backward character}{C-h}{h}
553 \threecol{next line at first non-white}{RET}{+}
554 \threecol{delete previous character}{X}{DEL}
555 \threecol{get information on file}{C-g}{g}
556 \threecol{substitute characters}{s}{x i}
557 \threecol{substitute line}{S}{c c}
558 \threecol{change to end of line}{C {\rm or} R}{c \$}
561 (Strictly speaking, \kbd{C} and \kbd{R} behave slightly differently in Vi.)
563 \section{Customization}
565 By default, search is case sensitive.
566 You can change this by including the following line in your \kbd{.vip} file.
568 \hskip 5ex

606 \title{Ex Commands in VIP}
608 In vi mode, an Ex command is entered by typing:
610 \hskip 5ex
611 \kbd{:\ {\sl ex-command} RET}
613 \section{Ex Addresses}
615 \paralign to \hsize{#\tabskip=5pt plus 1 fil&#\tabskip=2pt&#\tabskip=5pt plus 1 fil&#\cr

620 \twocolkey{previous line}{-}{line marked with {\it x}}{' {\it x}}
621 \twocolkey{entire buffer}{\%}{previous context}{' '}
624 Addresses can be specified in front of a command.
625 For example,
627 \hskip 5ex
628 \kbd{:.,.+10m\$}
630 moves 11 lines below current line to the end of buffer.
