~~Remove the battery~~ Wait, you can't do that these days...

[-] 3laws@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

With enough height, any drop would do. 😎 Follow me for more shitty advice.

[-] GravelPieceOfSword@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I'm 6 feet 2 inches. Would that be high enough?

[-] GravelPieceOfSword@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Damn, I guess you need a new phone.

[-] GravelPieceOfSword@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I've been telling myself that for a while.

I guess it's time now.

You don't exit Vim. Only Vim exits you.

There should be a hardware reset pin hole somewhere near the place where PIN/SD cards are placed. It was designed specifically for VIM users. Hold it with a narrow object.

EDIT: typo

I'm stealing this forever. Thank you.

I solemnly swear to explain "it's for Vim users" every time I speak of those little pin reset buttons in the future.

Obviously, you need to feed the cow first!

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

Too late. You'll need a new phone.

[-] GravelPieceOfSword@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

I've learned a few new commands now. :e dials an existing contact, and :w saves contact information.

:q! is super useful for hanging up on robo-callers

I think this thing could work... I dub it the vimphone!

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

[-] chris@l.roofo.cc 16 points 2 years ago

Press Escape

Type :q!

Press enter

[-] teft@startrek.website 25 points 2 years ago

Gotta save the cow. So type :wq

[-] andrewth09@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Added context.

ESC exits Insert mode (or any other mode you are in)

: tells vim you are entering a command

q is the command for quit

! tells vim for force quit (without saving)

Alternatively, :wq will write (save) the file then quit.

On some devices you can hold the back key to kill the foreground app.

spoilerYou might also try Typing :q

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Pull the power cord? Let the battery run out?

Try it to find out!

  • Install Termux from F-Droid
  • Open Termux, and run pkg install gvim. You might have to add the xorg repo - it will tell you what to do if you try running vim
  • Launch vim
  • You can checkout any time you like but you can never leave....

Type: nano

You could use Hackers KB which has the Ctrl keys, Esc, etc.

If you turn off the Accessibility button on the bottom right, you can switch between keyboards easily too.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
