Full Discussion: Number of lines in vi
Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Number of lines in vi Post 303034121 by jim mcnamara on Thursday 18th of April 2019 11:03:56 PM

On second thought - try using vim instead. vi has line size limits that vim does not have, for example.
The user interface is pretty much identical to vi. The config files are a little different from vi.

I am assuming you are not on HP-UX, but are on Linux.

vim-registry

vim-registry(5) 						    vim addons							   vim-registry(5)

NAME

       vim-registry - syntax for vim-addons registry files

SYNOPSIS

       PACKAGE-NAME.yaml

DESCRIPTION

       A  registry file is a multi-document YAML file (i.e. it can be composed by several different YAML documents separated by "---" lines). Each
       YAML document represents a registry entry, that is the information describing a single addon.

       Ideally, the registry directory contains one file per package shipping addons; with a filename obeying to the convention PACKAGE-NAME.yaml.
       Hence a single package can contribute to the registry with multiple entries described in a single YAML file.

       For example, the "vim-scripts" package should ship a single /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-scripts.yaml file, containing one YAML document per
       shipped addon. The first lines of such file can look like the following:

	   addon: alternate
	   description: "alternate pairing files (e.g. .c/.h) with short ex-commands"
	   basedir: /usr/share/vim-scripts/
	   disabledby: "let loaded_alternateFile = 1"
	   files:
	     - plugin/a.vim
	     - doc/alternate.txt
	   ---
	   addon: whatdomain
	   description: "query the meaning of a Top Level Domain"
	   basedir: /usr/share/vim-scripts/
	   disabledby: "let loaded_whatdomain = 1"
	   files:
	     - plugin/whatdomain.vim
	   ---

       Each registry entry may contain the following fields, to be typeset according to the YAML specification:

       addon (Required)
	      Name of the addon.

       description (Required)
	      Human understandable textual description of the addon.

       files (Required)
	      List of the files which compose the addon and are required to be present in a component of the Vim runtime path for the addon to	be
	      enabled.	Each file is specified relative to a component of the Vim runtime path.

       basedir (Optional)
	      Directory  where the files shipped by the addon (i.e., where the symlinks of the user/sysadm should point to) reside on the filesys-
	      tem.  Default is /usr/share/vim/addons.

       disabledby (Optional)
	      Vim script command that can be used (usually by adding it to ~/.vimrc) to prevent  the  addon  from  being  used	even  when  it	is
	      installed.  The intended usage of this field is to "blacklist" an undesired addon whose files are available, and hence automatically
	      loaded by Vim, in a component of the Vim runtime path.
