. There are two modes in which you use vi . This is the mode you are in whenever you begin to use vi . In this mode commands are used to move around and edit text objects such as words, sentences and paragraphs. Pressing the ESC key returns you to command mode. This is the mode you use to type (insert) text into a buffer . There are several commands that you can use to enter this mode.

... Here we briefly summarize our long period experience of constructing and operating wide-field monitoring cameras with sub-second temporal resolution to look for optical components of GRBs, fast-moving satellites and meteors. General requirements for hardware for such systems are discussed along with algorithms of real-time detection and classification of various kinds of short optical transients. ... The wide-field monitoring systems currently in operation, such as WIDGET (Tamagawa et al. ...
