Experiencing Vintage Mode features


In this section, we are going to cover some vi commands, basic interactions, and usage of the Vintage Mode. If you have used vi before, you can skip this section.

Vintage Mode will start in INSERT MODE by default instead of COMMAND MODE; to change this behavior, we'll need to open up user settings again by going to Preferences | Settings–User and then adding the following code:
