Edit /Save/Quit in VI Editor
Posted on 2012-12-24
I have edited a file with VI editor
now when I type :wq
in Replace mode, I get error E:45
in Insert Mode, it just goes to the next line after I press Enter
Any help on this, or better show me how to install another user friendly editor.
Thanks

Hello,
I recommend nano, it is very simple (u can save file using CTRL+O and exit from it using CTRL+X).
U can install nano on Debian/Ubuntu using following command in terminal:
