I’m the same way. I think it’s just a matter of being conditioned to manually save for the majority of my computing life.

The same can be applied for editors as well

Ctrl+s+s+s+s+s

LOL good point about just not releasing Ctrl.

The chances are non-zero that somebody out there attempts to release and press ctrl+s at the exact same time over and over like they're hammering out Beethoven's 5th. XD

Ok here's a question I should have asked like way sooner.

In Ubuntu (and similar distros), is there a hotkey to immediately kill the process? Like CTRL-C but harsher.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

My PC has a dedicated key to kill all processes.

sudo poweroff?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I use a process manager like btop for this.

If you’re using X11, you can use xkill: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xkill

You can bind it to a key in gnome/kde (not sure how they handle custom keybinds. Otherwise add a call to xbindkeys to your .bashrc or equivalent). It kills any window you want, responsive or not.

As for the terminal, I don’t think you can send SIGKILL, but ctrl + \ will result in a core dump if you’re using bash.

CTRL-C -- SIGINT CTRL-\ -- SIGQUIT CTRL-Z + kill -9 %1 -- SIGTSTP + SIGKILL

autosave is no good if you have live reload imo

I just do a full rebuild. Saves all files.

Intellij being a good guy amd autosaving every few seconds. No more worrying about crtl+s.

I was never really aware I did this until I had to program something with hot reloading (I don't remember what) and it was so insufferable...

And now my pain is with rustfmt. Just because I saved before filling in the struct fields does not mean I want you to format the struct accordingly!!!

i just store everything in google drive and let chance take over

Except the autosave in BBEdit. I trust that with my life. It’s never lost ANYTHING in 30 years.
