The rumors are true, if you exit vim you exit real life…

[-] btaf45@lemmy.world 16 points 3 years ago

Well that sucks. At least Bill Joy, creator of VI, is still with us.

He has escaped + shift + ZZ'ed this mortal coil.

[-] Alvorada9999@programming.dev 11 points 3 years ago

In a way, he will be always with us, may you rest in peace with the rest of the community who had joined heaven before you.

All you unwashed heathens using :wq when you should be using :x

[-] mrkite@programming.dev 8 points 3 years ago

I have hooks that reformat on write, so I use :w constantly. So :wq is easier.

[-] interolivary@beehaw.org 2 points 3 years ago

And it's not like it actually matters, they do approximately the same thing anyhow (:wq will always update modification time where :x only updates it if the contents changed)

Weird thing to gatekeep.

[-] interolivary@beehaw.org 17 points 3 years ago

If a joke about a text editor that doesn't exactly have the most intuitive interface makes you feel like it's gatekeeping, I really don't know how to help you
