#### 1.4.2 Changing

Some commands which change a small number of characters are executed slightly differently. Thus, if point is at the beginning of a word ‘`foo`’ and you wished to change it to ‘`bar`’ by typing `c w`, then VIP will prompt you for a new word in the minibuffer by the prompt ‘`foo =>` ’. You can then enter ‘`bar`’ followed by `RET` or `ESC` to complete the command. Before you enter `RET` or `ESC` you can abort the command by typing `C-g`. In general, you can abort a partially formed command by typing `C-g`.
