Here are some vi macros. They are very general and are good for beginners.
Unpack them as normal archive.
Comments and suggestions are welcomed.         - Joel Loo

#! /bin/sh
# This is a shell archive.  Remove anything before this line,
# then unpack it by saving it in a file and typing "sh file".

echo x - README
sed 's/^@//' > "README" <<'@//E*O*F README//'
These are some example vi macros.
The simplicity and usefulness of these examples make
them good examples for vi beginners. I hope these
macros would make life worth living once more for lots
of vi beginners. 

You can either include the "jl.ex" file into your 
vi init file ".exrc" or use the vi command ":source jl.ex"
to load them during your vi session.

Comment and suggestions are welcomed.

[The command "mm" marks the starting line of a cut/copy. After proper
marking, move the cursor to the ending line of your cut/copy. Use either
"^W" or "W" to get the text cut/copied. The command "Y" yanks the cut/
copied text at the cursor position. These commands work across files,
unlike the "*y" and "p"/"P" commands.]

 Command	| Meaning
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 mm		| Mark the beginning of region
 W		| Copy (to scratch) from marked line to current line
 ^W		| Cut (to scratch) from marked line to current line
 Y		| Yank (or paste) from scratch area

//////////////
/ commenting /
//////////////

 v		| 'C'-comment the current line
 V		| 'C'-uncomment the current line
 K		| Comment with '#' from marked line (good for sh etc.)
 ^K		| Uncomment lines of '#' from mark line (") 

/////////////////
/ Miscellaneous /
/////////////////

 ^O		| Edit the alternate file

/////////////////
/ abbreviations /
/////////////////
[Abbreviation capability is part of vi. The user can define as many as
he likes with the ex-command "abbr". Abbreviation works when the exact
sequence of chars is typed in the insert mode.]

[Important: Need to be in insert mode]

 Abbreviation	| Expansion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ilv 		| "I love vi"
 cmt 		| "/* */" and ready for inserting comment text
 dcm 		| similar to cmt but for C-function documentation

///////////////////
/ Escape Commands /
///////////////////
[Escape commands capability is not documented but only implied by vi reference.
This function might not be in some vi implementations. Using these commands
requires fast fingering; you have to press <esc> and following by the rest
of a command in quick succession.]

 Command        | Meangin
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 <esc>ip	| Insert 'printf("  >\n");' and ready for inserting print text

[Escape commands capability comes in handy when all control and function
keys of your keyboard are defined. You can define almost unlimited escape
commands.]
