nanoers just never figured out how to :wq
if you listen closely, you can still hear the terminal bells ringing of those that never managed to ESC
Those who never managed to ESC, reset.
Use
:xyou plebThey just said
:wqin school, so thanks for the tip. Hard to believe it saves even when the file hasn't been changed if you use:wq. What is the use case for that? If the file gets changed in another program and you want to revert?? Edit: Just saw the comment about the modification times being updated.But what if you wanted to write even if there weren't changes?
Then you use
:wqAnd how often do you want to do that exactly?
:x? Real Programmers useZZ.habit lol. i use :w a lot so :wq feels like a natural extension
Heh yeah and it's not like it makes any difference; they're effectively the same thing.
:wqjust updates modification time even if there were no changes – same as doing:wand:qseparately – but:xdoesn't. Super intuitive interface 😅
