You should be able to type vimtutor at a shell prompt and have it teach you how to use it.

 

Do you need vi or you don't know other editors?

Sure, almost infinite

Try mcedit (sudo apt-get install mc).

Once you know your way around vim it's simple and quick for editing...reminds me a whole lot of the old days when programs were stored on punch cards
