Interesting morning. Ran a little experiment and re-installed an OpenBSD 6.5 system and forced myself to mostly use vi for initial set-up. I did some reading yesterday to re-familiarize myself with basic usage of vi (command and insert modes, and how to save). I was able to successfully use vi to edit pf.conf, create a new doas.conf file, and create a new /etc/hostname.iwn0 file.
I still do like to use sudo occasionally, but , ran into trouble trying to edit my existing /etc/sudoers file. I did what was suggested and could not save the file?! Did the remaining files with nano. That was odd. I have more to learn about vi. Enjoyable and frustrating.

Addition: Spent the afternoon and evening tinkering with vi. I am a bit more comfortable with vi.
