To me, vi is Zen.
To use vi is to practice zen.
Every command is a koan.
Profound to the user,
unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth every time you use it.
Save a file you edited in vim without the needed permissionsI often forget to sudo before editing a file I don't have write permissions on. When you come to save that file and get the infamous "E212: Can't open file for writing", just issue that vim command in order to save the file without the need to save it to a temp file and then copy it back again. :w !sudo tee % Annotated link http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.commandlinefu.com%2Fcommands%2Fbrowse%2Fsort-by-votes
