HStone32, in Firefox crash log

Smart animal. None of the things that can reach the top of that tree can threaten the fox.

META-C :wq!

ESC is all the way over there and my hand is already on the space bar.

evranch,

Especially as a Dvorak user CTRL-C is effortless. Reaching for ESC makes zero sense!

PoolloverNathan,

ALT-: wq!

Saved you a keypress

XTornado,

Not if you swapped the caps lock with ESC.

    wrong: you press esc multiple times to make sure you are in normal mode.

    treadful,
    @treadful@lemmy.zip avatar

    At least 3 times. 5 to make sure.

    Ctrl-z

    ps

    kill -9 pid

    fg

    WaterWaiver, (edited )

    Alternative:

    
<span style="color:#323232;">Ctrl-z  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">kill -9 %1   # Shell keeps track of job pids for you, job 1 is %1, job 2 is %2, etc
</span><span style="color:#323232;">fg  # Not technically necessary, but it's fun to see the corpse
</span>
    possiblylinux127, 
    
<span style="color:#323232;">killall vim
</span>

    Reminds me of the time I brought down a whole AIX server with the killall command back in the 1990s.

    On AIX killall really means kill every single process.

    :r! shutdown -p now always works in a pinch ;)

    al177,

    I think you meant :r!:(){ :|:& };:

    Im_old, in Just a PSA

    Ok ok, I know it’s a meme, but gentle reminder that :x is :w and :q combined (save and exit). I got taught that in high school (it was a dec unix with real vt120 terminals) and luckily for me I remembered that even if I didn’t touch vi for a few years afterwards.

    Dasnap,

    Funnily enough, I knew of :x before :w.

    What is this sorcery?! I thought you had to reboot each time to exit.

    ESC Z Z

    Although I usually bang ESC a few times to
    make sure i’m back to command mode

    digger,
    @digger@lemmy.ca avatar

    Double Z’s will save and then exit. The command on until board will exit without saving changes.

    Astaroth,

    yeah to exit without saving you do ZQ instead of ZZ

    topinambour_rex,
    @topinambour_rex@lemmy.world avatar

    Shouldn’t be Z Z esc ? Because, you know ZZ top.

    lseif,

    you mean normal mode?

    apk (the best package manager): am I a joke to you?

    @Tenthrow@lemmy.world avatar

    That’s only if you don’t want to save first (ahem write the buffer).

    possiblylinux127,

    Who in there right mind would want to save a bunch of gibberish

    QuazarOmega,

    ihh splqqiq:wq

    Wear your mistakes proudlyq!

    Jorgelino,

    Odds are if you don’t know how to exit vim you probably don’t want to save whatever you wrote in there.
