User Reviews

VI Editor Assistant is valued as a concise, free, and useful reference for both beginners and seasoned vi users seeking to learn or refresh basic commands. Users praise its clear formatting and command coverage. However, multiple users report navigation difficulties within the app, insufficient depth including missing advanced commands and features, and occasional inaccuracies or omissions in command details. Despite these drawbacks, it's considered a handy tool for quick vi command reference on the go.

Pros

Useful reference for vi/vim commands, suitable for beginners and experienced users familiarizing or relearning vi.
Contains coverage of basic and essential vi commands, well-formatted and clear information.
Free app with succinct explanations that functions as a handy cheat sheet or pocket reference.
Helpful for users who need a quick refresher or want to memorize important commands.

Cons

Navigation issues: no easy way to return to the main menu from a topic, requiring app restart to access other sections.
Limited information: lacks advanced commands and some features (e.g., block selection with 'v' and 'V') and could be more comprehensive.
Occasional inaccuracies or lack of clarity regarding command contexts, such as not specifying command modes (insert, normal) leading to confusion.

If this utility (vi/vim) is part of your job, you will find something useful in here. That's not bad for free. Memorize what you need, put it in your toolbox. Not a bad app for free.
