                         i wish i could do that easily within Vi.
     btw... i only recently learned that  Vim   was  a regular ol' noun.
  vim   /vim/   Origin = mid 19th century (originally US): perhaps from Latin, accusative of vis ‘energy’.
         What does vim mean in British slang?  ------  Vim is energy and enthusiasm. If you've got vim, then you probably pack a little extra oomph in your life! Vim is an odd-looking word, but it stands for a simple concept: being ready for activity, especially vigorous activity. Someone who is always playing sports or going on trips is full of vim.
         What is the origin of vim?   ---    In 1988, a Dutch software developer named Bram Moolenaar got a new Amiga computer and wanted to start editing in vi.            Stevie was buggy and unsatisfying, so Moolenaar began writing a new vi port, based on its source code. He named the project 'Vi IMitation', or 'Vim' for short.
