Why do people just don't ESC :x? Do I miss something when not using q!?

[-] forwardvoid@feddit.nl 5 points 1 year ago

:x also writes (same as :wq). :q! is force quit. If you accidentally made changes then :q will give an error and :x will write those changes. So :q! Is you safest bet if you need to gtfo.

Now that you write it... I use :q! all the time but I did not realize. I guess that is just muscle memory :-)

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
