First time when you ssh into your Linux terminal and you gotta “sudo crontab -e” or something and it’s like “what editor do you want to use?” and nano sounds lame so you choose vim cause the sound is cool when you say it and then you have to wipe the whole comp and start over
escape colon w q
escape colon w q
it is literally. the first result on google.
escape then Shift+Z twice also works. or shift+Z shift+Q to quit without saving.
Are you people allergic to search engines or someth–
siiiiiiiiigh
Yes, I’m an old man yelling at cloud, but Vim and Neovim are fantastic text editors that really are worth the half hour you’ll spend running through the tutorial to learn them, and the subsequent two weeks you’ll spend installing plugins and configuring it exactly to your liking. It really does make writing software more efficient and really doesn’t deserve the reputation it gets from “vim is hard to exit lmao” memes made by people who haven’t bothered to change their $EDITOR to nano, had it launch automatically when they tried to write a commit message, and instantly decided it was just yet another piece of arcane 80s Unix bullshit
Cant Google if you don’t have a working computer. If it is some kind of deadlock it really sucks. With mobile Internet this does not happen too often.
