Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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!

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).

This works for me to bind control+q to quit.
edit: easier to upload an image because lemmy is eating the "html" characters
Hm, will try that. If it works, I'm buying you a beer 🍺.
You can set which editor to use with git using the GIT_EDITOR environment variable instead of telling other people their editor isn't usable by your standards.
Yes, I know, and I have it set to nano, but even then, I don't use nano that much anyway, I do most edits in a GUI text editor.
IDK, I exit vim and promptly fall asleep.
Likewise 👍.
