[TUHS] Re: Vi Quick Reference card for 4.4 BSD

Yep, that's it. The Vi Quick Reference Card dates back to the vi documentation in 2BSD: https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=2BSD/doc/vi specifically the file vi.summary: https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=2BSD/doc/vi/vi.summary Here's vi.summary in 4.4BSD: https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=4.4BSD/usr/src/usr.bin/ex/USD.do… A decent PDF render: https://www.mpaoli.net/~michael/unix/vi/summary.pdf On Mon, Jun 3, 2024 at 10:46 PM segaloco via TUHS <tuhs(a)tuhs.org> wrote: On Monday, June 3rd, 2024 at 9:31 PM, Will Senn <will.senn(a)gmail.com> wrote: neovim, I decided I'd had enough and I opted for nvi - the bug for bug vi compatible that I've used for so long on FreeBSD. It handles cursor keys, these days (my biggest gripe back when, now I'm not so sure it's an improvement). It's in-app help pages are about 300 lines long, the docs are just four of the 4.4 docs: An Introduction to Display Editing with VI, Edit: A tutorial, EX Reference Manual, and VI-EX Reference Manual - all very well written and understandable. It does everything I really need it to do without the million and one extensions and "enhancements" the others offer. "Vi Quick Reference card" in the various manpages and docs. I googled and googled some more and of course got thousands of hits (really many thousands), but I can't seem to find the actual card referenced. I'm pretty sure what I want to find is a scanned image or pdf of the card for 4.4bsd. ref card for vi from back in the 4.4bsd days or did it even really exist? Perhaps this? https://imgur.com/a/unix-vi-quick-reference-Nw0sfTH Pardon the quality and host, not in a place to do a more thoughtful scan and archival right now.  That was in a stack of documents I received some time ago, thrown in with stuff like V6 and KSOS manuals, some BSD docs, etc. so I presume it's also "official" fare.  That and no commercial indicators (TMs, copyrights, etc.) Let me know if that link doesn't work and I'll try and find my scanner and do it properly (scanner is MIA apparently...) - Matt G. P.S. I also have the AT&T branded version of this from 1984, it's a small 22 page flipbook with the same cover motif as early SVR2 binders (so the grey with some "deathstar" lines not the red with black accent dots).  Once I find my scanner I'll get that on the glass.
