Either that or ":wq" if you actually want to write things. These are the only commands one really needs to use VIM in a most basic sense. I don't get how it's so hard to remember or whatever

:x if you want to save a keystroke ;)

True that! For me it's just mostly muscle memory now, 'x' makes me think execute which is why I'll never be able to use it without hesitating.

There's so much non-info ingrained in my memory by nothing but my own logic which is why ^.

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
