    Re: vim commands

    I've used vi on Unix and Dos and there are slight differences (some commands don't work that well in dos). I also use Vim on linux at work. If it's Vim then it should be the same. Don't know about Vim on Mac, but my guess would be that it's the same.

    Re: vim commands

    The Mac OS version is compiled with slightly different features and patches from Ubuntu but the basic commands are indeed the same.

    Re: vim commands

    They have some different default keybindings and other settings, mostly to do with paths and other obviously platform-specific things. By and large everything is pretty much the same. Check the help pages for more details.

    Code:
    :help dos
    :help mac
