I use VIM on Linux and VS Code on Windows usually but of late using VS Code on Linux too
UPDATE switched back to VI found VS Code good but consuming more resources
VIM is powerful and has a lot of plugins the one i use is NERDTree plugin which is a file explorer and is handy.
Also modifying the .vimrc file really helps
set your alias for example alias py=‘python3’ in the .bashrc file
copy your .vimrc file from /home/ec2-user/.vimrc to /root/.vimrc this will make your vim settings reflect when you use sudo with vi to edit files.
h left l right j down k up
0 start of line $ end of line
x delete one character dd delete line
u Undo r replace character
visual mode press ctrl v to select block of text and then use p for paste
dd delete line and then p for paste (this works like a cut and paste)
/ followed by word to search will help search and n will go to next word for example /todo will show instances of word todo in the current opened file
** NETRW **
Netrw can be used using :Lexplore or :Vexplore
