troubleshooting Question
having trouble with vi editor
asked on
I am using vi editor to edit file on the UNIX server. In vi editor x deletes a character and dd deletes a whole line.
Sometimes both x and dd work for me and sometimes when I hit x it just types in 'x' character. How do i switch back and forth between being able to type and using UNIX shortcuts?
