Useful Vi Editor Trick

Here is yet another Vi editor trick. At the Vi editor, we can edit multiple files by switching between them (With out opening another terminal)

$vi ex1.c ex2.c ex3.c

To switch one file to another use :n, :#e (With out exiting and opening the file)
like $vi ex1.c ex2.c ex3.c

:n Move forward to next file is the file list
:e# Toggle between the last two edited files
:rew Rewind file list and reopen first file in the list
