Same here. But I found sdf which seems super cool. Maybe I'll actually learn more than five vim commands now

@plumbercraic @lemmyworld But can you exit vim? That's the real question😁

[–] plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure thing - ctrl a, c, PS l grep vim, kill - 9 pid

Or something πŸ™ƒ

[esc]: !sudo kill -9 $(pgrep vim)

You just summed up my last 30 years of Linux. To be completely honest I knew vaguely of it but I've never used it before. My first inclination was to use killall, but something about its force command isn't quite -9 and it refused to terminate the parent application.
