At first, the different modes of 
vim
 can be a bit confusing to newcomers. For me, I 
see it as somewhat of a superpower. With 
vim
, you have a mode for editing text, and 
another dedicated mode for manipulating it. When it comes to text manipulation, 
that's one of the strongest features of 
vim
. For an example of this, consider the 
following hypothetical file:
Figure 5.4: The vim text editor, with a sample file
I don't know why, but something about that file seems off to me. We'll need to make 
a very important correction to try to fix it. First, you can see from the screenshot 
that the editor was left in insert mode. To do some text manipulation, we first need 
to press 
Esc
 to go back to command mode. Once there, we can get ready to type a 
command. And the command we want to type is this one:
:%s/Windows/Linux/g
