Very clever...

Funny, but unironically a pretty good idea.

nano crew where you at

when you click enable vim it should just start nano

Why would I want to exit vim?

just unplug the computer...

And if it's cloud computer, just unplug the cloud..

It's very easy to terminate vim. I just use the power button.

If anyone needs the command: :q!

If you want the computer to ask if you're sure: :q

If you want to save: :wq

I don't mean to be all "BuT iT's cLOseD SoURce" but you should give Logseq or Zettlr a try. They're similar WYSIWYG markdown editors, but also FOSS. Zettlr also has vim keys.

Plus Obsidian is horrible at editing tables.

I mean, it's true.

I've been using linux pretty exclusively at home for almost 25 years now. Program. Script. Work in the shell a lot, and the other day I had to use vim and it took me a while to remember the basic commands. I'm a nano guy :\

Big brain time, pkill vim

Vim: Caught deadly signal TERM
Vim: Finished.
Terminated

A lot of my personal dislike for VIM would be done away with if it just had a helpful common keys cheat sheet (basic cursor navigation, edit mode, exit with and without saving, etc) at the bottom of the editor window like Nano does.

You don't change Vim, Vim changes you. https://youtu.be/9n1dtmzqnCU

*edit: shortened and thanks! Did not know and gross..

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

If you want to learn vim, try the command vimtutor in a terminal

I just can't quit you, vim!

Alt-F4

That is just hilarious but also...

I just remembered that Bram Moolenaar, the author of vim has recently died...

He was a real good person. Back when he released his first vim for Amiga Computers I exchanged some emails with him and he handled even my less smart suggestions very professional.

I just take the chance to remind everyone to spend some money for his Uganda Charity.

That is a hilarious, yet useful test.

Tricky question, but I think I have a solution:

:!readlink /proc/$PPID/fd/* | grep "$(dirname %)/.$(basename %).sw" | xargs -I{} rm "{}" ; kill -9 $PPID

I think this is the most upvotes I’ve seen on a Lemmy post….

You guys can exit vim? 😁

Huh. Which one of them?

Oh man, that's awesome. Aren't there a couple ways to do that though?

Oh wow, that's an easy way to not implement a feature ;)

I just noticed someone should try xkill if they get the chance. If that doesn't work they should rephrase the question. That is all. This will be my last grand contribution for today. Have a nice Wednesday everyone :3

Easy ESC ESC ESC ESC ESC ESC ESC ESC ESC :q! Or alternatively ESC :q!

I love obsidian, you'll love it

:q!

Easy, just turn off computer.

That’s pretty wizard!

Vim is the program that can beep and ruin files.

Ctrl-b " pkill -9 vim

Great idea for when you start in IT! Always had trouble first year in my apprenticeship when i had accidentally opened vim. Ask for first time and after 2 months not used.

Did someone already open a pull request?

How do people not know how to quit vim in 2023???
