FINALLY! :wq
Is that how we're ending our comments ZZ
I never got used to doing wq over a simple :x
I get that you can write and quit separately, and I do it when needed, but 95% of the time, there's no need
My muscle memory causes :wq to be typed without my conscient intervention
what's really dangerous is if you do a bunch of force quits in a row with :q!
and then you start to get muscle memory for that and accidentally lose a whole document you were working on
You mean you don't have muscle memory to obsessively save every time you stop typing?
If I lose it, I don't need it
Software predeterminitism - If it were good code it would have saved itself.
wellllllll
I don't think I've ever had to redo more than 15 mins of work due to this mistake, but it's a dangerous road lol
This is the best summary I could come up with:
For fans of the Vim text editor, the latest development code has landed support for the XDG Base Directory "XDG_BASE_DIR" specification.
Rather than just dumping all configuration files / cache / data into the home directory folder, Vim can now respect the XDG Base Directory specification with regards to the directories such as for the XDG cache, configuration files, persistent data files, and state data files.
Vim will continue to work fine for environments not setting the XDG paths / environment variables.
The XDG_BASE_DIR support was merged this week after being under review and discussion since last month.
This closes a 7 year old bug report requesting Vim follow XDG_CONFIG_HOME specifications or the APPDATA path on Windows.
The original article contains 117 words, the summary contains 117 words. Saved 0%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This is pretty verbatim.
The bot says it 'saved 0%'; so at least it's honest.
It'll be a cold day in hell before I give up my ~/.vimrc
Now get the stupid ssh clients to do the same.
Vi-ctory
RIP Bram
Holy moly great news. There's hope for our /home after all. I think Firefox has an open bug thread or request thread for XDG Base Directory that's like ..20 years old?

20 indeed
I use this script with librewolf, give it a try, simply place it in $HOME/.local/bin
name it librewolf and export that location as first in $PATH
:
#!/bin/sh
APPHOME="$XDG_DATA_HOME/librewolf/HOME"
APPEXEC="$HOME/.local/opt/librewolf/librewolf" # Replace this with the path to librewolf
# XDG Check
if [ -z "$XDG_CACHE_HOME" ] || [ -z "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME" ] || [ -z "$XDG_DATA_HOME" ] || [ -z "$XDG_STATE_HOME" ]; then
echo "One or more XDG Base dir variables not defined, bailing out"; exit 1
fi
# MAKE FAKEHOME AND LINKS
mkdir -p "$APPHOME/.local" "$XDG_DATA_HOME/pki" "$XDG_DATA_HOME/icons" 2>/dev/null
[ ! -e "$APPHOME/.local/share" ] && ln -s "$XDG_DATA_HOME" "$APPHOME/.local/share"
[ ! -e "$APPHOME/.local/state" ] && ln -s "$XDG_STATE_HOME" "$APPHOME/.local/state"
[ ! -e "$APPHOME/.config" ] && ln -s "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME" "$APPHOME/.config"
[ ! -e "$APPHOME/.cache" ] && ln -s "$XDG_CACHE_HOME" "$APPHOME/.cache"
[ ! -e "$APPHOME/.icons" ] && ln -s "$XDG_DATA_HOME/icons" "$APPHOME/.icons" # Some apps have hardcoded ~/.icons path
[ ! -e "$APPHOME/.pki" ] && ln -s "$XDG_DATA_HOME/pki" "$APPHOME/.pki" # Chromium/electron hardcode ~/.pki
find "$APPHOME" -xtype l -delete
for FILES in "$HOME"/*; do
FILENAME=$(basename "$FILES")
DEST="$APPHOME/$FILENAME"
if [ ! -e "$DEST" ]; then
ln -s "$FILES" "$DEST"
fi
done
# START APP AT APPHOME
HOME="$APPHOME" "$APPEXEC" "$@" || notify-send "App not found"
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
