I'd be surprised if vi(m) couldn't be configured to do this.

It just delays the problem by a few seconds. You can't use vi without

understanding its different modes etc.
And anyway, vi is not the kind of program you discover accidentally by

clicking around. It's to a sysadmin or hacker what using a screwdriver

or maybe a soldering iron is to someone meddling with electronics - part

of the essential background. You use it because you need it. There are

lots of 'cheat sheets' around, and there's 'man vi' of course.
