Just in case people are still confused about what elvis is/does:

$ gaze what elvis
elvis:
Elvis is a clone of vi/ex, the standard UNIX editor. Elvis supports
nearly all of the vi/ex commands, in both visual mode and ex mode. Elvis
adds support for multiple files, multiple windows, a variety of display
modes including "hex" and "html", on-line help, WYSIWYG printing, and
other miscellaneous extensions.
