If you are stuck on vi, there is a free vi clone called "elvis", including the
source code, at http://www.llp.fu-berlin.de/lsoft/G/5/ELVIS.html
If you are open to alternatives, there are at least two great environments for
editing source code:
1) RHIDE is free and available by looking around www.delorie.com/djgpp/
It is an IDE that looks and acts similarily to the Borland Turbo C IDE.
2) GNU emacs is free and available the same way.
It is almost anything you want and is very keyboard-shortcut oriented.
