Hit Esc then type "q!" <- how hard was that? Don't listen to the vimxit liars

[-] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 year ago

Don't forget the ':' before the q!, when you type ':' you enter command mode, the q command quits the file and putting an exclamation mark after the q doesn't save the file and forces the file to be closed

Or if you want to text edit in hardcore mode, only use :x to exit. For after you've gotten used to vim and want to bring back some of the challenge.

Ok, I may have forgotten about the ":" but I stand by the rest, if you can't remember how to do a qw, then you can't be trusted to write to a file.

So you can’t be trusted to write a file.

Thanks for being honest. I’ll ask someone else when I need to write a file.

In the end linux is about choice, if you don't want to remember the commands to edit with vim, there are text editors like nano or some kind of notepad program from your DE

Open a new terminal and type sudo killall vim

Reject modernity, return to having a single 120v power switch on the front of the computer!

There was a post about custom PC starting switches, and one built a gong starter. Now that would be a boss reboot.
