A wee vi/vim 'trick' that I just discovered last
week, though it might be ancient history for many
among you. Let's suppose you have several files to
edit, to, fix some grammar issues orwhatever
changes which are just hard to code, or would not
make sense for the trouble. Or youjust want to
review them...

So just opened all the files as a list 'vim file1
file2 file3' or just 'vim *' for all the files in
a folder.

Vi/Vim will show the first file. Edit it. Then, to
save it go and type ':wn' which will save the file
and leads us to the next in the list. To return to
a previous file ':wp'. When you are done ':q' or
':wq' will close vi/vim as usual.
