How about something like:
introductory vi help (unmap '?' to restore reverse searching)
This editor has two modes, in Input mode you may enter text,
in Command mode you may alter previously entered text.
To enter input mode from command mode, hit i
To enter command mode from input mode, hit ESC
it's safe to hit ESC while in command mode
[ESC means the escape key, ENTER means the enter key]
A few other commands:
up k
down j
left h
right k
delete current character x
delete current line dd
undo u
save and exit :wq ENTER
exit without saving :q! ENTER
For more information, see
