What is Vim?
The Linux, BSD, and macOS operating systems all come with Vim, a Unix text editor. Its reputation for speed and effectiveness is partly due to the fact that it is a simple application that can run in a terminal (although it also has a graphical user interface), but primarily because it can be operated exclusively with the keyboard without the use of a mouse or menus. For instance, you can type and press I to add text to a file. You press Esc on your keyboard and then the key or key combinations that correspond to the action you want to conduct to navigate or give a command (such as Save, Backspace, Home, End, and so on).
How to Install Gvim on Ubuntu
The text editor known as Vim, which stands for “Vi Improved,” is a traditional one that is primarily used by programmers. It is commonly referred to as a “programmer’s editor.” It was created a long time ago, but it is still a well-liked editor that outperforms many rivals. It can be used for everything from managing configuration files to basic text editing tasks. Major operating systems including Mac, Windows, Linux, and Unix all support Vim. Both GUI and non-GUI console modes are supported by Vim. For the GUI version of Vim, for instance, you can install MacVim on a Mac. Similarly, you can use the “gvim” executable installer on Windows. Gvim, a graphical version of Vim, is also available for Linux. Gvim is a powerful GUI editor that runs on Linux, much like other “vi” clones.
