Vim is a highly configurable, keyboard-driven text editor designed to make creating and editing text extremely efficient. It is based on the classic vi editor and comes preinstalled as “vi” on most UNIX systems and macOS. Vim is known for its modal editing approach, which allows users to perform complex text manipulations with minimal keystrokes. It is exceptionally stable and lightweight, making it suitable for everything from quick file edits to large development projects. Vim supports a wide range of customization options, enabling users to tailor workflows to their exact needs. Its active development and long-standing community ensure continuous improvements and long-term reliability.

Vim is an improved version of the editor "vi", one of the standard text editors on UNIX systems.

User Reviews

  • simply the best swiss knife (dev's editor) one could have.!! request (probably not the best place to ask but anyhow): will it be possible to put the md5sums available here (ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/) on h.t.t.p.s://sourceforge.net/projects/vim/files/ (sf supports http's' when logged in) ?? or is there some other way to get to the md5s (for the binaries) securely?
  • With Vim, nothing else is relevant.
