until the moment you realize that somehow you are not on your native keyboard layout and where the hell is : and ! in this weird language??!

JetpackJackson, I have done this too many times now lol, you’d think I would have learned
arandomthought, If they don’t understand this, can we even call it intelligent life?
transientpunk, 
Truth
partial_accumen, Maybe they use Emacs.
Bonus: I googled “emacs” to make sure I got the capitalization right for the post and Google is throwing shade:

TurnItOff_OnAgain, Nano forever!
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,
edis the standard text editor.
arandomthought, Well, then my point still stands.
Jk, don’t hurt me please!
dubyakay, Maybe it’s time to stop using GOOG
jmcs, Google does the opposite of “vi”. Some people just like to watch the world burn.
pirat, I misread “the world bum”
The term “keming” is sometimes used informally to refer to poor kerning (the letters r and n placed too close together being easily mistaken for the letter m).

Octopus1348, 
I don’t know how people get this. I tried but it didn’t do this.
Skyhighatrist, (edited ) Strange, I just tried and got the vi suggestion. And, googling vi gave me an emacs suggestion. So shade all around!
hemko, Just capitalize it EMACS and people will think you’re more senior than in reality
hemko,
dukk, It’s the other way around, too.

Not as true though.
hemko, This gotta be some inside joke leaking from google
Aurenkin, Maybe they use Emacs.
Exactly
Turious, But I don’t want to stop.
possiblylinux127, Oh no…
_cnt0, Great, now all my changes are lost. Thank you very much!
possiblylinux127, Your welcome!
greyhaven7, wq
_cnt0, Thanks Sherlock.
Tenthrow, 
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.
marietta_man, (edited ) ESC Z Z
Although I usually bang ESC a few times to
make sure i’m back to command mode
digger, 
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, 
Shouldn’t be Z Z esc ? Because, you know ZZ top.
lseif, you mean normal mode?
glowie, 
What is this sorcery?! I thought you had to reboot each time to exit.
Im_old, 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.
rattking, 
:r! shutdown -p nowalways works in a pinch ;)
al177, I think you meant :r!:(){ :|:& };:
key, 
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
killallcommand back in the 1990s.On AIX
killallreally means kill every single process.
vsis, 
wrong: you press esc multiple times to make sure you are in normal mode.
treadful, 
At least 3 times. 5 to make sure.
pirrrrrrrr, [ESC] wq
Count042, ZZ
