You all exit your editor? How you do the rest of your computing?
/s with ♡ from an Emacs fan.
Emacs really is an excellent desktop environment
On german QWERTZ keyboards, you need to use shift to make : and !.
On US ones as well, I think they just put the relevant key-symbols and excluded the combination press as they can be assumed.
I have a custom keyboard with a QMK firmware. I enabled something called auto shift. It’s the best. Just hold down the key you want shifted, and it auto shifts. I settled for enabling this for capital letters and symbols. So comfortable not to have to press the shift key.
So you hold down the first letter of each sentence longer so that it capitalizes rather than hold shift? That feels like it would completely mess with my flow when typing. Shift just happens naturally for me and I don’t register I’m pushing it.
Exactly like that, yes. Or 1 for exclamation point, or 2 for @. Just like on a phone keyboard, with tap and hold for symbols and numbers and such.
I’ve had this keyboard for a few months now and I didn’t enable it exactly for the reasons you mention.
I enabled it a few weeks ago now just to try it, and wow, I though I didn’t notice myself pressing the shift key, that it “came naturally”. Boy was I wrong. Now whenever I have to use the shift key it feels so cumbersome lol. Typing has become so comfortable now.
I use a ZSA Voyager for reference.
What if you wanna repeat a character?
Here in Tarzania we hold the superior and elusive ! key
That’s basically all keyboard layouts.
We’re just quitting without writing? Living very dangerously aren’t we?
It is an emergency exit not a normal exit.
Works as long as you didn’t put something silly in your nvim config like
vim.keymap.set("ca", "q!", "echo 'not so fast!'")vim something.log
esc
quit
exit
ctrl+x
ctrl+q
shushejehojwhatiwibaln):gufht;vfgs+_&f
reboot
nano something.logshushejehojwhatiwibaln
fond memories of this distro
Ctrl+] Shift+ZZ
Amateurs.
Or just ctrl-z to get out of it and “fg” to get back. :)
Just buy a new computer.
how to quit vim
- pull computer cord out of wall
Would it be
q a !?5 key presses to save and exit. Frickin vim.
I’m pretty sure that’s close without saving changes. :wq would be needed to save.
To be precise, : means bring up commands, w means save, q means exit, and ! means force
I think it’s w = write and q = quit so the letters make more sense
Also :x is the same as :wq
No, it isn’t, x writes only when changes have been made, while w writes unconditionally.
TIL. Ty!
Depends how you count. Both
:and!require shift as well.
