Restart the computer ;)

[-] CeeBee@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago

It's pretty simple:

  • Spam the escape key a bit
  • Then do shift + ;
  • when you're in command mode, do the following
  • q! to forcibly quit
  • wq! to forcibly write your changes and quit

Simple!-ish

Not to be pedantic, but it's not shift+; it's :, which may be somewhere else depending on your keyboard. For example on (german?) Quertz that's shift+.

This is true, but since I already used ":" to indicate an upcoming list, I wanted to be deliberately clear that I was referring to the key, and not suggesting another list.

Why would you want to do that? Vim is efficiency. Without vim, you're wasting your life.

[-] TrustingZebra@lemmy.one 12 points 2 years ago

I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?

[-] lntl@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

It's all around.

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

Exactly. What OP should do is never close vim. You don’t need to close it.

A surprised emoticon with a cigar hanging out of its mouth isn't particularly helpful.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

All vim commands are emoticons

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

You just discarded all of your changes.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah, because it all got trashed from the previous keyboard mashing.

Simply spend a couple hours configuring vim

[-] Lemmyvisitor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago

opening vim is like entering purgatory

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

For the longest time I thought that answer was Ctrl-Z

[-] BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Same here in the beginning I used

Ctrl-z

kill %1

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
