Changing Text with VI

The c command is similar to d, except it toggles vi into Insert Mode, allowing the original (unwanted) text to be changed to something else.

For example, put the cursor on the beginning of a word (press w to get to the beginning of the next word). Then, press cw to change that word.Here i want to change if to while

Step 1: put the cursor on the beginning of a word

Step 2: press cw

Step 3: type while

Some other commands:

• • cw : Change current word

  • 5cc : Change five lines (current and next four)

  • c$ : Change to end of line

  • c30G : Change from the current line to and including Line 30

  • cG : Change from curernt line to and including last line
