On german QWERTZ keyboards, you need to use shift to make : and !.
Here in Tarzania we hold the superior and elusive ! key
Same on Dvorak.
Though the custom coder’s Dvorak I use while programming has a dedicated ! key. Shift still needed for : though.
Slovenian ones too
Common French W. AZERTY proves itself superior once again.
That’s basically all keyboard layouts.
vim something.log
esc
quit
exit
ctrl+x
ctrl+q

fond memories of this distro
Thank you very much. I sent this to my coworker who expressed interest in switching to vim :)
5 key presses to save and exit. Frickin vim.
four. the ! is unnecessary. how many actions are there to save and quit in other editors? ctrl, s, ctrl, w is four. move to file, click, move to save, click, move to ×, click is six.
and that’s before we replace the wq with x.
If we count the modifier keys:
Vim: esc, shift+:, w, q, Enter
Emacs: ctrl-s, crtl+x ctrl+c, or use the menu options
I use both, but find Emacs much quicker, though vim is easier to learn, though Emacs is easier while you’re learning
i’ve never had the time to get into emacs, would love to though.
also, some layouts have the : on its own key, and if you include the esc in vim commands you’re not using vim correctly :)
ESC
Surely you’re editing right before exiting, why else would you be saving?
not necessarily. you could also have done a yank-paste, or a repeated action, or had a command output into the buffer.
it’s a good habit to always leave the editor in normal mode between actions, because that makes for a cleaner edit history with smaller changesets in the undo tree.
…vim is sort of like driving stick in that way.
Yeah, having used both, my preference is for Emacs, which also comes with the bonus of menu driven ways of doing most things when you’ve been away long enough to have forgotten a keyboard shortcut. I have always needed a cheat sheet handy when away from vim for a few months
i’ve moved to helix, partly to stop myself tinkering and partly because the reversed command model is just easier. plus it has popup helpers.
Depends how you count. Both
:and!require shift as well.Fuck it I’m pulling the power cord
You can use ZZ as a shortcut!

We’re just quitting without writing? Living very dangerously aren’t we?
It is an emergency exit not a normal exit.
The real emergency exit will leave swap files
ctrl+z, kill %1
My initial take on the sticker was the whole “fire exit git commit git push;” I do see this other perspective now
how to quit vim
- pull computer cord out of wall
Now it’s just running on battery
[Esc] [Z] [Z]
ZZTop could not be reached for comment
ZZ for the win.
yet here in trq i need to press shift in %80 of the keys (that’s why i use micro)
the annoying thing about trq is that us is the default everywhere, so you can’t press [İ] to type “i”, it’ll type a " ’ " instead >:(
similar things for “:” and “-”
Would it be
q a !?Where can I buy some of these please?

Or just ctrl-z to get out of it and “fg” to get back. :)
Just alt+F4, you didn’t need to edit that file anyways
Just buy a new computer.
