This is a list of the crucial keys in vi.
Remember: the escape key is your friend.
O means to go into insert tect mode one character to the right
r means to replace something
x means to delete something
E means to revert to the last saved version
I means to insert text. This is what we use to begin typing
these four keys are used in edit mode: h j k l
w means to overwrite the last version
q means to quit without changing anything

I've decided that the next thing I want to do is change the misspelled word "tect" into "text." I'd move up two lines (k again), and then to the right (l all the way) until the cursor was on the character c in "tect" in the following sentence:
O means to go into insert tect mode one character to the right
I'd then type r (this tells the editor I want to replace the highlighted character), and then x (to make "text"). If I wanted to change the letter c to s, I'd type r, then s. If I wanted to change it to - well, you get the picture: Type r and then the replacing character.
