You can use :wq only once

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

So choose wisely. All other editor instances must remain open forever.

I use quake style terminals, and often start writing a file and completely forget about it and turn off the computer, and only remember what i left behind when i find the random recovery files around, so :w a lot is quite useful for me.

Quake? The FPS? I'm confused, though I knew a little about Linux

[-] calzone_gigante@lemmy.eco.br 9 points 9 months ago

Yes, on classic fps you could spaw a console that will drop down from the top os the screen, some terminal emulators allow you to do that.

I like it because then i have the terminal always open that i just draw from the top of the screen with a keypress

On KDE i do that with Yakuake, and on gnome with tilix

You can also use Guake on GNOME or basically on any desktop. I've also use it on Cinnamon and it's really nice.

My biggest (mostly) irrational internet pet peeve is the proliferation of people suggesting ":wq" when ":x" is strictly better.

*per open file

[-] Commiunism@lemmy.wtf 4 points 9 months ago

:w before ZZ just to make sure

[-] SorryQuick@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

Is there any reason to use :w other than it being the default? I have mine mapped to CTRL-S and it makes sure to keep me in insert mode if I was in insert mode. Feels way faster and easier to spam than the 4 key presses it takes to execute “:w”.
