:q!

Wait. Oh shit.

[–] Hupf@feddit.de 19 points 11 months ago

:q! is for quicksave

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, I have to take your first answer.

[–] Morphit@feddit.uk 2 points 11 months ago

Better hope you set undofile and undodir is writable.

[–] cryptix@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Just :wq there won't be any doubts.

Question: why does nobody else save and exit with ":x" or ":x!"?

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

No specific reason, but I'd rather be deep in the cold, cold ground before I quit with ":x" instead of ":wq".

[–] Derp@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

But... But :x is superior because it doesn't overwrite unchanged files with a new modified date :(

[–] UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

It's such an awkward letter to reach, also I'm stuck in my ways leave me alone

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

I guess by the time I came across :x, :wq was already too ingrained to bother switching.

[–] velox_vulnus@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I was quite habituated with :x/:x!, but after switching to Kakoune, I use :wq/:wq!, because :x/:x! does not exist. Yes, it's one extra key, but I like the overall reduce in cognitive overhead.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I do.

[–] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 11 months ago (3 children)

My muscle memory is too strong from years of vscode before vim so I have :w mapped to C-s

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 16 points 11 months ago

This is Vim's evil mode

[–] UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Hissss we're enemies

[–] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I have the opposite situation, I had to willingly stop myself from typing :w while using Word. And I installed the vim extension in vscode, which leads to me typing :w when using someone else's setup.

[–] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

I still get lots of jkhl after some lines when I'm trying to move between lines

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

[–] thepiguy@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

:wq and re-evaluate my lif- oh wait, I forgot to call the function

[–] KickAssDuke@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They look so lonely. Why not make them kiss?
