% The final reference card has six columns, three on each side.
% This file can be used to produce it in any of three ways:
% 1 column per page
%    produces six separate pages, each of which needs to be reduced to 80%.
%    This gives the best resolution.
% 2 columns per page
%    produces three already-reduced pages.
%    You will still need to cut and paste.
% 3 columns per page
%    produces two pages which must be printed sideways to make a
%    ready-to-use 8.5 x 11 inch reference card.
%    For this you need a dvi device driver that can print sideways.
% Which mode to use is controlled by setting \columnsperpage.

\title{VIP Quick Reference Card}

\centerline{(Based on VIP \versionvip\ in GNU Emacs \versionemacs)}

%\copyrightnotice

\section{Loading VIP}

Just type \kbd{M-x vip-mode} followed by \kbd{RET}

\section{VIP Modes}

VIP has three modes: {\it emacs mode}, {\it vi mode} and {\it insert mode}.
Mode line tells you which mode you are in.
In emacs mode you can do all the normal GNU Emacs editing.
This card explains only vi mode and insert mode.
{\bf GNU Emacs Reference Card} explains emacs mode.
You can switch modes as follows.

\key{from emacs mode to vi mode}{C-z}
\key{from vi mode to emacs mode}{C-z}
\metax{from vi mode to insert mode}{i, I, a, A, o, O {\rm or} C-o}
\key{from insert mode to vi mode}{ESC}

If you wish to be in vi mode just after you startup Emacs,
include the line:

\hskip 5ex
\kbd{(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook 'vip-mode)}

in your \kbd{.emacs} file.
Or, you can put the following alias in your \kbd{.cshrc} file.

\hskip 5ex
\kbd{alias vip 'emacs \\!* -f vip-mode'}


\section{Insert Mode}
Insert mode is like emacs mode except for the following.

\key{go back to vi mode}{ESC}
\key{delete previous character}{C-h}
\key{delete previous word}{C-w}
\key{emulate \kbd{ESC} key in emacs mode}{C-z}

The rest of this card explains commands in {\bf vi mode}.

\section{Getting Information on VIP}

Execute info command by typing \kbd{M-x info} and select menu item
\kbd{vip}.  Also:

\key{describe function attached to the key {\it x}}{C-h k {\it x}}

\section{Leaving Emacs}

\key{suspend Emacs}{X Z {\rm or} :st}
\metax{exit Emacs permanently}{Z Z {\rm or} X C {\rm or} :q}

\section{Error Recovery}

\key{abort partially typed or executing command}{C-g}
\key{redraw messed up screen}{C-l}
\metax{{\bf recover} a file lost by a system crash}{M-x recover-file}
\metax{restore a buffer to its original contents}{M-x revert-buffer}

\shortcopyrightnotice

\section{Counts}

Most commands in vi mode accept a {\it count} which can be supplied as a
prefix to the commands.  In most cases, if a count is given, the
command is executed that many times.  E.g., \kbd{5 d d} deletes 5
lines.

%\shortcopyrightnotice
\section{Registers}

There are 26 registers (\kbd{a} to \kbd{z}) that can store texts
and marks.
You can append a text at the end of a register (say \kbd{x}) by
specifying the register name in capital letter (say \kbd{X}).
There are also 9 read only registers (\kbd{1} to \kbd{9}) that store
up to 9 previous changes.
We will use {\it x\/} to denote a register.

\key{{\bf query} replace}{Q}
\key{{\bf replace} a character by another character {\it c}}{r {\it c}}

\section{Modifying Commands}

The delete (yank, change) commands explained below accept a motion command as
their argument and delete (yank, change) the region determined by the motion
command.  Motion commands are classified into {\it point commands} and
{\it line commands}.  In the case of line commands, whole lines will
be affected by the command.  Motion commands will be represented by
{\it m} below.

The point commands are as follows:

\hskip 5ex
\kbd{h l 0 ^ \$ w W b B e E ( ) / ?\ ` f F t T \% ; ,}

The line commands are as follows:

\hskip 5ex
\kbd{j k + - H M L \{ \} G '}

\subsection{Delete/Yank/Change Commands}

\paralign to \hsize{#\tabskip=10pt plus 1 fil&#\tabskip=0pt&#\tabskip=0pt&#\cr
\fourcol{}{{\bf delete}}{{\bf yank}}{{\bf change}}
\fourcol{region determined by {\it m}}{d {\it m}}{y {\it m}}{c {\it m}}
\fourcol{... into register {\it x}}{" {\it x\/} d {\it m}}{" {\it x\/} y {\it m}}{" {\it x\/} c {\it m}}
\fourcol{a line}{d d}{Y {\rm or} y y}{c c}
\fourcol{current {\bf region}}{d r}{y r}{c r}
\fourcol{expanded {\bf region}}{d R}{y R}{c R}
\fourcol{to end of line}{D}{y \$}{c \$}
\fourcol{a character after point}{x}{y l}{c l}
\fourcol{a character before point}{DEL}{y h}{c h}
}

\subsection{Put Back Commands}

Deleted/yanked/changed text can be put back by the following commands.

\key{{\bf Put} back at point/above line}{P}
\key{... from register {\it x}}{" {\it x\/} P}
\key{{\bf put} back after point/below line}{p}
\key{... from register {\it x}}{" {\it x\/} p}

\subsection{Repeating and Undoing Modifications}

\key{{\bf undo} last change}{u {\rm or} :und}
\key{repeat last change}{.\ {\rm (dot)}}

Undo is undoable by \kbd{u} and repeatable by \kbd{.}.
For example, \kbd{u...} will undo 4 previous changes.
A \kbd{.} after \kbd{5dd} is equivalent to \kbd{5dd},
while \kbd{3.} after \kbd{5dd} is equivalent to \kbd{3dd}.

\section{Miscellaneous Commands}

\endindentedkeys

\paralign to \hsize{#\tabskip=5pt plus 1 fil&#\tabskip=0pt&#\tabskip=0pt&#\tabskip=0pt&#\cr
\fivecol{}{{\bf shift left}}{{\bf shift right}}{{\bf filter shell command}}{{\bf indent}}
\fivecol{region}{< {\it m}}{> {\it m}}{!\ {\it m\/} {\sl shell-com}}{= {\it m}}
\fivecol{line}{< <}{> >}{!\ !\ {\sl shell-com}}{= =}
}

\key{emulate \kbd{ESC}/\kbd{C-h} in emacs mode}{ESC{\rm /}C-h}
\key{emulate \kbd{C-c}/\kbd{C-x} in emacs mode}{C{\rm /}X}

\key{{\bf join} lines}{J}

\key{lowercase region}{\# c {\it m}}
\key{uppercase region}{\# C {\it m}}
\key{execute last keyboard macro on each line in the region}{\# g {\it m}}

\key{insert specified string for each line in the region}{\# q {\it m}}
\key{check spelling of the words in the region}{\# s {\it m}}

\section{Differences from Vi}

\beginindentedkeys

In VIP some keys behave rather differently from Vi.
The table below lists such keys, and you can get the effect of typing
these keys by typing the corresponding keys in the VIP column.

\paralign to \hsize{#\tabskip=10pt plus 1 fil&#\tabskip=0pt&#\cr
\threecol{}{{\bf Vi}}{{\bf VIP}}
\threecol{forward character}{SPC}{l}
\threecol{backward character}{C-h}{h}
\threecol{next line at first non-white}{RET}{+}
\threecol{delete previous character}{X}{DEL}
\threecol{get information on file}{C-g}{g}
\threecol{substitute characters}{s}{x i}
\threecol{substitute line}{S}{c c}
\threecol{change to end of line}{C {\rm or} R}{c \$}
}

(Strictly speaking, \kbd{C} and \kbd{R} behave slightly differently in Vi.)

\section{Customization}

By default, search is case sensitive.
You can change this by including the following line in your \kbd{.vip} file.

\hskip 5ex
\kbd{(setq vip-case-fold-search t)}

\beginindentedkeys

\paralign to \hsize{#\tabskip=10pt plus 1 fil&#\tabskip=0pt&#\cr
\twocol{{\bf variable}}{{\bf default value}}
\twocol{vip-search-wrap-around}{t}
\twocol{vip-case-fold-search}{nil}
\twocol{vip-re-search}{nil}
\twocol{vip-re-replace}{nil}
\twocol{vip-re-query-replace}{nil}
\twocol{vip-open-with-indent}{nil}
\twocol{vip-help-in-insert-mode}{nil}
\twocol{vip-shift-width}{8}
\twocol{vip-tags-file-name}{"TAGS"}
}

%\subsection{Customizing Key Bindings}

Include (some of) following lines in your \kbd{.vip} file
to restore Vi key bindings.

\beginexample
(define-key vip-mode-map "\\C-g" 'vip-info-on-file)
(define-key vip-mode-map "\\C-h" 'vip-backward-char)
(define-key vip-mode-map "\\C-m" 'vip-next-line-at-bol)
(define-key vip-mode-map " " 'vip-forward-char)
(define-key vip-mode-map "g" 'vip-keyboard-quit)
(define-key vip-mode-map "s" 'vip-substitute)
(define-key vip-mode-map "C" 'vip-change-to-eol)
(define-key vip-mode-map "R" 'vip-change-to-eol)
(define-key vip-mode-map "S" 'vip-substitute-line)
(define-key vip-mode-map "X" 'vip-delete-backward-char)
\endexample

\newcolumn

\title{Ex Commands in VIP}

In vi mode, an Ex command is entered by typing:

\hskip 5ex
\kbd{:\ {\sl ex-command} RET}

\section{Ex Addresses}

\paralign to \hsize{#\tabskip=5pt plus 1 fil&#\tabskip=2pt&#\tabskip=5pt plus 1 fil&#\cr
\twocolkey{current line}{.}{next line with {\sl pat}}{/ {\sl pat} /}
\twocolkey{line {\it n}}{{\it n}}{previous line with {\sl pat}}{?\ {\sl pat} ?}
\twocolkey{last line}{\$}{{\it n\/} line before {\it a}}{{\it a} - {\it n}}
\twocolkey{next line}{+}{{\it a\/} through {\it b}}{{\it a\/} , {\it b}}
\twocolkey{previous line}{-}{line marked with {\it x}}{' {\it x}}
\twocolkey{entire buffer}{\%}{previous context}{' '}
}

Addresses can be specified in front of a command.
For example,

\hskip 5ex
\kbd{:.,.+10m\$}

moves 11 lines below current line to the end of buffer.

\section{Ex Commands}

\endindentedkeys
