Globally replace Vi with Vim on Fedora

Your vi is Vim, but invoked as vi, so it enters historical compatibility mode. The recommended action is that if you want to run Vim and not vi, run vim and not vi. However, if you want vi to always run Vim on every account on the system, override it in /usr/local/bin:

cat >/usr/local/bin/vi <<\EOF
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/vim "$@"
EOF
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/vi

# echo 'alias vi="vim"' >> /etc/bashrc' or # alternatives --install /usr/bin/vi vi /usr/bin/vim 900
