Description Chris Rebert 2005-01-09 21:01:05 UTC

When someone emerges vi(m) or one of its cousins, a message should be displayed informing the user of the user guide available from the Gentoo Doc Project and its URL [Learning vi -- the "cheatsheet" technique (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/vi-guide.xml)].
These additions would help new users figure out how to use vi-like editors on their own. This would reduce the number of repetitive questions about using vi et al asked on the forums and irc.

Hrmmmmm. With vim at least, vimtutor is a heck of a lot better than that guide...

Comment 2 Chris Rebert 2005-01-09 21:44:37 UTC

okay then, mention either the guide or vimtutor, or both, depending on what vi-like editor is being emerged.

Comment 3 Ciaran McCreesh 2005-01-21 09:25:49 UTC

Closing this as WONT, since some of that guide is vim-specific and vim has a far better tutorial shipped with it.
