Says chester:
In vim...
The
g/re/p command actually goes back to
ed, which was the original Unix editor, back around 1972, and is still provided with all Unix systems. After
ed came
vi, the visual editor, with command syntax similar to
ed's, and then
vim, which is an improved version of
vi.
Early versions of Unix also had a gres command (perform a substitution on all matching lines) but it was obsoleted by sed and abandoned.
