There is literally written that :q to exit!

[-] prex@aussie.zone 21 points 2 months ago

Wont work if you have unsaved edits or are in insert mode. Escape then :q! will.

[-] pupbiru@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

and when typing :q with unsaved edits it literally also says “add ! to override”

[-] prex@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

True.

I tend to use ZZ it ZQ instead. Its been a while.

Ooh, living life dangerously.

I would not like to have that as a finger habit!

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago

If you read the clues, yes.

I typed :q and it just says :q on the bottom, all this advice and I'm still stuck in vim. My electricity bill has been high since 2022 because of this heavy editor with no x button

People who have never had the pleasure of experiencing vim might not realize that the colon is a part of the command and will start recording a macro instead.
