I have opened two vi editors: vi file1 file2
. Now file1 opens first, and i want to yank some lines from file1 and put it to file 2 without quitting file1, because more lines can be yanked, so it is just switching between vi's and yanking.
How to achieve it?
You can navigate between two multiple open files with :next
and :previous
(the file has to be saved, it wont allow switching then the current file is "modified").
