As I continue to escape into the obscuria of elder text mangling tools, I've found myself enjoying the opportunity to act as the local #viTips fairy when I find anything interesting or useful.

And here's another cool vi trick I found!

You can append to a file rather than overwriting it by prefixing >> to the filename:

:w >>appendtofilename

This can work on parts of a buffer by prefixing line numbers or ranges:

2,+1w >>appendfilename

This appends the second and subsequent line.

#vi #nvi
