More fun with VIM, it only takes six key strokes to save and quit.
This was by far the funnest way to learn VIM for me: https://vim-adventures.com/
<ESC> Shift(Hold) Z Z, four!
:x<enter> are also four. I don’t think you can do it in fewer strokes. In Windows I would usually use Ctrl+S, Alt+F4. Also four. You could maybe do Alt+F4 or Ctrl+Q or whatever and just hit Enter when the software asks to save unsaved changes. That’d be three strokes.
Been using VIM since 2011ish and I can’t imagine using anything else.
Same here! But only because I haven’t figured out how to exit yet.
Always fun to learn something new. I’ve primarily used vim since 2016, and i never knew
g_to jump to last non-space character in the lineI’ve tried TUI text editors before but they’ve never really clicked with me.
Both Vim and Git really clicked with me when I had to revise and rewrite a paper. Sure, my graphic editor could do most things, but it really felt comfortable and quick on vim. I now use it for all my text editing, but that was my click moment.
By TUI do you mean VI/M? Or something like helix or slap??
VI is usually on 99% of the time on any Linux system. That’s why I use VIM, to ensure I know what to do for editing and how to do it at a basic level. I mean personally I have a bunch of config settings and plugins, but I an do basic tasks with VI and feel comfortable. I believe that is important for a Linux admin.
Like I know how to use it but it never really clicked for me, I’ve tried helix, neovim, vim and nano but it doesn’t click for me.
When it does click with you, them every other editor feels a little broken. It’s a double edged sword.
Yeah, seeing how people use arrow keys or their mouse to navigate around a text document made me realize how little I wanna go back.
