I feel like the images should be switched.
When you know how to exit, you just slap your face 🤦 and ask “why… why, please, why don’t they add new shortcuts 🤦!”.
Lol if you know how to exit, you may know that you actually can change almost everything about vim.
I don’t think you can add modifier keys in shortcuts.
And this behavior should come out of the box, not me changing stuff around so I can make it usable. For something that I use all the time, sure, but I only use a terminal text editor with git, and I don’t use git that often. For everything else, I use a GUI text editor (mousepad, leafpad, whatever).
If you wanna save changes: :wq
If not: :q!
Else: :SpanishInquisition
I prefer the extremely intuitive:
[C-R]=system("grep -P "PPid:\t(\d+)" /proc/$$/status | cut -f2 | xargs kill -9")
or
i:!grep -P "PPid:\t(\d+)" /proc/$$/status | cut -f2 | xargs kill -9[esc]Y:@"[cr]
It just rolls off the fingers, doesn’t it?
Edit: damn it lemmy didn’t like my meme because it assumes that characters between angle brackets are html tags :( you ruined it lemmy
EDIT 2: rewrote it, just assume that square brackets are buttons not characters
I always get annoyed when I’m on some system and nano pops up and I need to figure out how to kill that thing.
It shows a message which wastes valuable screen estate, especially on low resolution terminals, containing a message I have to read every single time because the keys are not in muscle memory, and never will because the bindings are stupid.
On systems I have control over the reaction to nano popping up is exiting, removing it, making sure the package system blocks reinstallation attempts, and go back to what I was initially doing in a sane editor.
My man, most of us aren’t connecting to our mainframes on VT20s these days. Even on my phone screen the three extra lines nano takes over vi aren’t a problem.
Also if you have the time to go through all that you have the time to learn ctrl+x.
You have so much pent up emotion over a text editor. Life can be so much more my friend!
Because it also sends the kill signal in every terminal I’ve witnessed yet… And you have it right on screen the second you start Nano.
Yeah, sure, that works as well.
As long as I get to use modifier keys, almost anything is fine with me. We don’t live in the 70s, that was 50 years ago. If backwards compatibility is what they’re after, I’m sorry but I think they overdid it. Plus, you can just add them, the defaults don’t need to be changed.
There’s a button to exit vim on your pc. Just hold it 7 seconds and vim is closed. 😅
