Command vi with osso-xterm

[edouard57]

Hello everyworld,

I have a little problem with command vi under xterminal :

I try a test in taping vi test and i write "hello", but when i want to quit the programm i make :wq and it doesn't work, just :q works.
Could you help me ?

Thanks

Do you have write permission in the directory you're saving the file to?

On my N770 (ESC) :wq works.
I think its strange that :q qorks (and not only :q!)

It's not real vi, it's imitation of vi done via /bin/busybox (deffault n770 shell), so sometimes it behaves not like real vi supposed to.
Situation that you described happens when you have no rights to save file in current folder.

You can install real vi from maemo.org applications list, but there is no reasons to do so unless you are vi hardcore user.
