Tilde.Club has
The Traditional Vi
installed on its premises.
It is not just another
Vi clone,
but the direct continuation
of Bill Joy's legendary work at Berkeley.
The binaries are in /usr/archaic/bin/
and the man pages
(separately for ex and vi)
in /usr/archaic/share/man/man/.
You can invoke The Traditional Vi in several ways (in the order of increased engagement):
-
by the full path to the executable:
/usr/archaic/bin/vi -
by adding it as an alias to your shell's
rcfile (~/.bashrcfor Bash), e.g:alias tvi=/usr/archaic/bin/viand then invokng Vi by typing
tvi, -
by adding the locations Vi and its documentation in front of the
PATHandMANPATHenvironment variables in your shell's profile script (for Bash,~/.bash_profileor~/.profile):export PATH="/usr/archaic/bin/:$PATH" export MANPATH="/usr/archaic/share/man/man:$MANPATH"
The latter method has the advantage
of affecting subshells,
so that if you specify vi as the default editor
in your e-mail or news client, or another CLI program,
it will invoke The Traditional Vi,
ditto for your shell scripts
and the EDITOR environment variale.
Resources
- Bill Joy's An Introduction to Display Editing with Vi ,
vi(1)man page,ex(1)man page,- A concise
vireference, - The Ultimate guide to the VI and EX text editors (a paper book),
- The
#vichannel on the Libera.Chat IRC network, dedicated to the original Vi and all its variants except Vim & co, - VI experience in the shell.
Building
The Traditional Vi is surprisingly easy to build from
its source.
You only need to locate the following line in Makefile:
TERMLIB = termlib
and replace the value with curses or ncurses,
depending on your preferred terminal library.
Now you can build and install the project with:
make && make install
