nvim

all

Neovim, a programmer's text editor based on Vim, provides several modes for different kinds of text manipulation. Pressing `<i>` in normal mode enters insert mode. `<Esc>` or `<Ctrl c>` goes back to normal mode, which doesn't allow regular text insertion. See also: `vim`, `vimtutor`, `vimdiff`.
