Vi/Vim is the most popular text editor for all Linux and Unix-based distributions.
Unfortunately, Ctrl+A keyboard shortcut does not work with vim, If you want to select all the text in a file you have opened on vi editors follow the below steps,
- Press the g button twice: gg - this will take the cursor to the start of the file.
- Now Press Shift + v to move to visual mode.
- Now Press Shift + g to move the end of the last line of the file.
> gg Shift+v Shift+g
You can also use :1 instead of gg
:1 Shift+v followed by Shift+g
