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

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

Jorgelino,

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

veniasilente,

Joke’s on them I’m using Emacs as an OS so when I want to exit vi I just C-a M-exit C-r C-y.

Zardoz,

I prefer ctrl-[ instead of escape

vrighter,

That’s the first one i’ve learned to use and I have a hard time actually using the escape key. it’s just so out of the way

Shareni,

it’s just so out of the way

That’s why you rebind caps to:

  • hold = ctrl
  • tap = ESC

Kmonad is my favourite tool for this, but there are other options.

Bonus: rebind hold ret to ctrl and you can C-[ with one hand, and it makes navigation a lot easier if you can’t palm ctrl

Astaroth,

ZQ

pirrrrrrrr,

[ESC] wq

Turious,

But I don’t want to stop.
