Very clever... (lemmy.ml)

I'm trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

There's a few different ways to write that command in vim, does it accept all of them?

[-] Jorgelino@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

I'm honestly not super familiar with vim. I tried :q! and it accepted it, what are some other ways?

Halfway true :3 I'm only a professional programmer which is why I attend in professional work fashion like thigh highs and arm warmers instead of fursuits. I'm more the stereotypical femboy programmer. Pre-edit: am i really just average 3,:

[-] EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Okay, you are a very cool and sweet femboy programmer :)

[-] Jorgelino@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Ah, unfortunately it only asks you this question the first time you try it.

E37: No write since last change (add ! to override)

Ah, thanks for ZQ. I only knew ZZ, alternative to :x.

:wq will save and then exit, while :x will save only if the file has been modified and then exit, and then there's ZZ that does the same as :x, plus there are probably others:-)

[-] ray@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

The question specifically asked for "the command to quit Vim without saving"

[-] uzay@infosec.pub 8 points 1 year ago

They explicitly ask for the one that quits without saving, so I'd say :q! is the obvious choice

[-] GiantRobotTRex 1 points 1 year ago

I agree that it's the most obvious choice, but it also doesn't work when there are hidden buffers open. :qa! and :cq should always work so they are arguably more correct

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

Which means none of those are valid? Since this is specifically "quit without saving"

No, I tried ZQ the other day, does not work

[-] GitProphet@lemmy.sdfeu.org 3 points 1 year ago

my disappointment is immesurable and my day is ruined.
