How to use VI

gvim color and fonts settings in Windows

The _vimrc file is located in "C:\Program Files\Vim". Add the following lines to set default color scheme and font:

set guifont=Courier_New:h10:cANSI
colors darkblue

Search and Replace, Insert new line

Source: Vim: Search and Replace, Insert new line

:%s/^text on line$/text on line\rtext on next line\rtext on line after that/g

The \r is the new line character.

NOTE: \r is used as the new line character when vim is using DOS file format, to find out which file format you are using type :set ff?

Disable xterm-style mouse usage

1. issue the command :set mouse-=a
2. insert the directive set mouse-=a into your ~/.vimrc file
