:q! is for quicksave

I’m sorry, I have to take your first answer.

Better hope you set undofile and undodir is writable.

Just :wq there won’t be any doubts.

My muscle memory is too strong from years of vscode before vim so I have :w mapped to C-s

This is Vim’s evil mode

Hissss we’re enemies

I have the opposite situation, I had to willingly stop myself from typing :w while using Word. And I installed the vim extension in vscode, which leads to me typing :w when using someone else’s setup.

I still get lots of jkhl after some lines when I’m trying to move between lines

Question: why does nobody else save and exit with “:x” or “:x!”?

Lots of people don’t know. Just like ctrl+r to substring search your command history in bash.

I seriously pity people who don’t know ctrl+r that is one of the most important tools for productivity on the cli.

And you can hook in fzf to it to get a proper list of previous commands all fuzzy matched!! Oh-my-zsh just requires adding fzf to your plugins list (:

I survived for years with just https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions which is similarly great, but fills a slightly different role. Just start typing and you’ll see a faded preview of the most recent command matching & u ctrl+f to autocomplete it. Is gr8

e: clarified what zsh-autosuggest does

I’ve found it’s a bit overrated honestly. Usually, I also need the commands before and after something, so I use history | grep -B N cmd instead

ctrl+r to WHAT

IM SO FUCKING PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW

LOL. I had the same reaction when I found out a decade ago.

I just got moved to a new team, and my new team lead up arrow spams. I was about to tell him about ctrl-r, but he found his command, and I’m awkward, so I didn’t say anything. Maybe next time.

I guess by the time I came across :x, :wq was already too ingrained to bother switching.

No specific reason, but I’d rather be deep in the cold, cold ground before I quit with “:x” instead of “:wq”.

But… But :x is superior because it doesn’t overwrite unchanged files with a new modified date :(

Whoa. I’ve been doing :wq for like 25 years and never new about :x.

It’s such an awkward letter to reach, also I’m stuck in my ways leave me alone

What am I, a farmer? /s
