Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
First time when you ssh into your Linux terminal and you gotta “sudo crontab -e” or something and it’s like “what editor do you want to use?” and nano sounds lame so you choose vim cause the sound is cool when you say it and then you have to wipe the whole comp and start over
Off-topic: never unplug this way, it’s bad for your cable and potentially dangerous.

It’s got ground so it’s certified safe!
You'll have about 6ft of ground afterwards.
I wanted the rest of the song. I asked Bing to make it, sorry Copilot. I am not disappointed
You heard there was a secret chord That you could use to meet the Lord 'Cause you don't care about power safety, do ya? You plugged it in without a thought And then you saw a bright blue spark And from your lips you screamed a loud "Hallelujah!"
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-u-u-jah
Your room was dark, you smelled some smoke You realized you made a joke Of basic rules of electricity, didn't ya? You tried to find another plug But all you got was just a shrug And from your phone you heard a low "Hallelujah!"
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-u-u-jah
You called the landlord right away He said he'd come and fix the fray But he would charge you extra for the labor, yeah You felt a pang of guilt and shame You knew you only had yourself to blame And from your wallet you let out a sigh "Hallelujah!"
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-u-u-jah
How do I exit Vim?
escape colon w q
One of life's great mysteries
escape colon w q
I'm pretty sure it's impossible
it is literally. the first result on google.
The best way is to change to another terminal and forcequit it from there
escape then Shift+Z twice also works. or shift+Z shift+Q to quit without saving.
Or hard restart your entire computer
Are you people allergic to search engines or someth--
Bill Joy made vi impossible to exit because he wanted the source to always be open
siiiiiiiiigh
Yes, I'm an old man yelling at cloud, but Vim and Neovim are fantastic text editors that really are worth the half hour you'll spend running through the tutorial to learn them, and the subsequent two weeks you'll spend installing plugins and configuring it exactly to your liking. It really does make writing software more efficient and really doesn't deserve the reputation it gets from "vim is hard to exit lmao" memes made by people who haven't bothered to change their $EDITOR to nano, had it launch automatically when they tried to write a commit message, and instantly decided it was just yet another piece of arcane 80s Unix bullshit
First time using Linux and in a job setting isn’t the time to get Vim’d, so yeah I dipped. Don’t judge too hard pls!
it's literally the first result on Google
Okay, how do I Google in vim?
step 1. alt
step 2. tab
alternately:
step 1. switch VTs back to your desktop environment and Google it there
if you're using vim without a GUI running at all (I hate embedded systems too):
step 1. you still have your phone on you, right
!q:
INCORRECT BUZZER
:q!
you have escaped
I develop only in vim, i find it way better that any modern gui.
Native vim? Or with an elaborate preference file?
I personally have grown so accustomed to vim that if I have to ssh to a new (to me) server I would rather use stock vi (which in most systems is actually an alias for vim) to any other editor. But honestly I have made an alias for a script that ports over my elaborate vimrc file for every first login to a new server or instance lol. It makes me feel a little like a diva 💁💅
Vim with a minimal preference file, but sometimes vim only, i don't like vi cause it lacks syntax highlighting
Who told you to add a job to your root crontab? Vim was just protecting you from yourself
Quitting Vim is called 'escaping' because it was designed to be a trap and you've escaped. Congratulations to everyone who has.
lawful good: alias vim=nano
chaotic evil: alias nano=vim
If I typed vim and it opened nano I would start looking for people to kill
I would detonate if someone chaotic evil’d me
[CTRL][ALT][PrtSc]-K-S-U-B
or [ESC] :q!
YMMV
:q it's very easy. You could also just close the terminal window and easily escape that way.
:killall -9 vim
Type :q to exit.
This is the way!
