Editing Routing Policy Configuration Elements Using the Vim Editor
Editing elements of a routing policy with Vim (Vi IMproved) is similar to editing them with Emacs except
for some feature differences such as the keystrokes to save and quit. To write to a current file and exit, use
the :wq or :x or ZZ keystrokes. To quit and confirm, use the :q keystrokes. To quit and discard changes, use
the :q! keystrokes.
