    Hello and welcome to the forums!

    There are lots of good vi howto articles that can be found quick Google search. Those at the Gentoo and Arch websites might be about as good as any:

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi

    Gentoo Linux Documentation -- Learning vi -- the "cheatsheet" technique

    If you have vim on your machine, you can also run vimtutor in a terminal for some quick and easy lessons to get you started.
