Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

:ggdGwq (please don't do this)
VIM Golf.... Same outcome, fewer strokes:
%d|wq
you can replace wq with x
:%d|x
Only in Vim, not in Vi.
E492: Not an editor command: ggdGwq
I use Vim daily, and i have absolutely no clue what that command would do, what would it do? Delete the document, save and quit?
exactly.
gg -> go to top of document
d -> delete (actually, it's cut, but it destroys the mnemonic)
G -> here is a modifier to "d" and tells it do "delete until end of document"
w -> write current state of buffer to disk
q -> exit program
Actually not, binds and commands aren't the same.
ggdG
only works as a series of inputs, whilewq
only works as a command (with the colon).Exactly. The colon needs to be just before the
w
, not at the front of the sequence...And while you're at it, throw an
ESC
in there at the beginning, will ya?If you want to cover every case (mode), indeed. 😊
yeah, I screwed it up
Huh.. I always just used :1
ggdGZZ
This actually does what you intend to do. On nvim atleast.
