vim-base

Vi IMproved

Vim (Vi IMproved) is an almost compatible version of the UNIX editor vi. Almost every possible command can be performed using only ASCII characters. Only the 'Q' command is missing (you do not need it). Many new features have been added: multilevel undo, command line history, file name completion, block operations, and editing of binary data. Vi is available for the AMIGA, MS-DOS, Windows NT, and various versions of UNIX. For SUSE Linux, Vim is used as /usr/bin/vi. Package vim-base contains the common files needed for all different vim versions. You still need to select at least one of the vim, vim-enhanced or gvim packages. For full runtime support you might also want to install the vim-data package.
