Comments
Elvis was the pioneering vi clone, widely admired in the 1990's for its conciseness, and many features. [1][2] For that combination it is still unmatched among the vi clones, and it influenced the development of Vim until about 1997. Vim is a Text editor first released by Bram Moolenaar in 1991 for the Amiga computer [3][4]
It was the first to provide color syntax highlighting (and to generalize syntax highlighting to multiple filetypes),
first to provide highlighted selections via keyboard.
Elvis's built-in nroff (early) and (later) html displays gave it unusual WYSIWYG features.
Elvis recognizes binary files, as well and provides a split screen for editing them.
jelvis, a Japanese variant, is available, based on work by Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino up until 1998. [5] His more recent work in this area has been distributed as patches against nvi. nvi ( new vi) is a re-implementation of the classic Berkeley Text editor, Ex/vi, traditionally distributed with BSD, and later Unix A Korean variant helvis is also available, originally by Park Chong-Dae. [6][7] These variants were modifications of elvis 1. 8 (July 10, 1994). [8] The nvi editor is based on an older version of elvis 1. nvi ( new vi) is a re-implementation of the classic Berkeley Text editor, Ex/vi, traditionally distributed with BSD, and later Unix 5 (April 2, 1992).
