MODERATORS
I really don't get the exit vim meme anymore. It's just two key presses, trivial. When you hit
<C-c>it tells you exactly what to do. Anyone stuck in vom either does not read or has no idea how to use a terminal.Edit: I'm German, I meant vim.
Yeah vom is easy. Have you tried exiting vim tho?
Whenever I have to edit a text file when nauseous, I just vom it.
I use omacs
on i-macs?
On umix
I mean how hard could it be, you just press some random letters until it exits
Vim is unintuitive. If you are a new linux CLI user and follow some tutorials that tells you to run vim, modify something then save and exit, it can be daunting.
^^ The kind of person who doesn't remember what it's like being new at the CLI.
or…
Linux is so easy, n00b. You're just stupid.
I hope the first one. But the effect is real, stuff you know already was easy and stuff you don't is hard. I'm feeling it with my migration to proxmox, it's hard.
:x simple as. Vim was the first terminal text editor I used so I'm biased.
ESC : q ENTER (assuming you haven't modified the buffer)?
What's the two key press exit pattern?
vom stand for "Vi, only maybe".
