Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Use
:x
you plebThey just said
:wq
in school, so thanks for the tip. Hard to believe it saves even when the file hasn't been changed if you use:wq
. What is the use case for that? If the file gets changed in another program and you want to revert?? Edit: Just saw the comment about the modification times being updated.But what if you wanted to write even if there weren't changes?
Then you use
:wq
And how often do you want to do that exactly?
:x
? Real Programmers useZZ
.habit lol. i use :w a lot so :wq feels like a natural extension
Heh yeah and it's not like it makes any difference; they're effectively the same thing.
:wq
just updates modification time even if there were no changes โ same as doing:w
and:q
separately โ but:x
doesn't. Super intuitive interface ๐
