Problem

As i said last post, Ubuntu default VI is suck, i totally do not know how to use it, all my up, down, left and right keys are became funny characters, can’t edit or code a line at all. If not mistake, Ubuntu is using so called “vim-tinny” as default VI editor.

I’m totally surrender to this vim-tinny, what a genius product? However i’m just a normal people, so i just need back my normal vi editor.

Solution

Issue following command to get a simple gnome normal vi back to your Ubuntu.

apt-get install vim-gnome

After installed, it will overwrite the default vi, and finally, your favorite simple vi editor is back.
