I tried everything, from Esc, Ctrl-C, REISUB, even ctrl-alt-delete.
I gave up and held down the power button
It’s <Esc>, ‘:’ ‘q’ <Return>. ‘Esc’ to return to normal mode. ‘:’ to begin entering a command, ‘q’ to actually quit, and <Return> to send the command. For safety, vim does not allow you to quit without saving. You can either override this behaviour by appending a ‘!’ after ‘q’, to tell vim to quit without saving, or use ‘:’ ‘w’ <Return>, while in normal mode, to save the file first. Writing and quitting can be combined into ‘:’ ‘w’ ‘q’ <Return> to save and quit.
give up and use nano next time :^)
nano is great, however what if it is not installed and you can’t install it for what ever reason?
Esc Esc Esc Esc :q!
Open a new terminal session to the host, and force kill the other session! Its the only way.
Hopefully terminal-based editors aren’t considered too off-topic. Just thought it was funny :)
they are for UNIX like systems, so no prob!
:;qigsk?!😋🤤😤💲🥹🤤😎🥹🤔🥴💲
And then you just press the power button.
Came here to say this. I just unplug the computer and throw it out!
I toss some magnets in the case then burn it, gotta make sure Vim doesn’t come back for vengeance if I perform the arcane shutdown ritual incorrectly.
I can’t believe that there are still people that code in Vim, lol 😂. Not only that, but they encourage others to learn how to use it and code in it… WTF, I get that some people like retro stuff, but that’s just plain stupid. Why not code in ASM then, it’s retro as well 😂.
Because it’s super fast and beautiful. I use neovim though, not vim. Colleagues are always asking me how i can move around so fast. Well because it’s all shortcuts and since the editor responds instantly… It just happens very fast.
It makes it a lot more fun to edit code :)
VS code is also decent but it has that laggy feeling all the time, and it’s frustrating.
Red hat Linux still doesn’t ship with anything else installed by default (I mean apart from sed) so vi is your only choice if you’re in an environment where you’re not about to install a package (if repos are even accessible) everytime you log in a new server.
Don’t even wait for þat shit to shut down normally just hold it down
Still… better than TECO.
there’s no reason to continue this discussion, cus, I’m locking this thread.
