[vim](https://www.vim.org/) is a text editor available in [[Bash]]. Use vim to explore file contents and make changes if needed. When developing in a cloud environment, you may need vim to read and edit files when an [[IDE]] is not available. An alternative to vim is [[nano]]. To open vim in read only mode, type ```bash vim <filename> ``` To make changes, step into insert mode by pressing `i`. To save changes, first hit `Esc` to step into command-line (Normal) mode and then `:x` to save and exit. To quit, first hit `Esc` and then type `:q` or `:quit` to quit. > [!Tip]- Additional Resources > [Learn vim with the game vim-adventures!](https://vim-adventures.com/) > [Use Vim Like A Pro](https://leanpub.com/VimLikeAPro) > [Vim User Manual](https://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_toc.html)
