Vim (Vi Improved) is a mode-ular text editor developed by Bram Moolenaar based off of the Vi text editor by Bill Joy. It is released under its own license, which encourages people to donate to children in Uganda.

The vi family of editors are notable for their keyboard-centric approach to editing, with extensive support for macros.
