Hello,
Recently after updating pacman and doing a
sudo pacman -Syu
I realized my vi editor was broken. To be specific the commands no longer show up at the bottom and I am unable to exit without saving. For example, when I press a, the editor doesn't enter append mode... it simply types an a. Also when I press escape to try and return to command mode the terminal just flashes. I have tried removing the package and reinstalling including
sudo pacman -R -s - n -u vi
just to make sure it wasn't a bad config file or something. I also have tried removing the usr/bin/rview directory before reinstalling and I have also tried updating the licenses package. All to no avail.
Please if anyone else is experiencing this or knows how to fix this I would be very grateful.
Thanks

vi is now an actual vi clone (ex/vi) and not a light vim like it used to be. You probably want to use the current vim package.
Edit - shining was much faster
