Wait. Oh shit.

Wait. Oh shit.
Just :wq there won't be any doubts.
My muscle memory is too strong from years of vscode before vim so I have :w mapped to C-s
I have the opposite situation, I had to willingly stop myself from typing :w while using Word. And I installed the vim extension in vscode, which leads to me typing :w when using someone else's setup.
Question: why does nobody else save and exit with ":x" or ":x!"?
Lots of people don’t know. Just like ctrl+r to substring search your command history in bash.
I seriously pity people who don't know ctrl+r that is one of the most important tools for productivity on the cli.
And you can hook in fzf to it to get a proper list of previous commands all fuzzy matched!! Oh-my-zsh just requires adding fzf to your plugins list (:
I survived for years with just https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions which is similarly great, but fills a slightly different role. Just start typing and you'll see a faded preview of the most recent command matching & u ctrl+f to autocomplete it. Is gr8
e: clarified what zsh-autosuggest does
I’ve found it’s a bit overrated honestly. Usually, I also need the commands before and after something, so I use history | grep -B N cmd instead
ctrl+r to WHAT
IM SO FUCKING PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW
I just got moved to a new team, and my new team lead up arrow spams. I was about to tell him about ctrl-r, but he found his command, and I'm awkward, so I didn't say anything. Maybe next time.
I guess by the time I came across :x, :wq was already too ingrained to bother switching.
No specific reason, but I'd rather be deep in the cold, cold ground before I quit with ":x" instead of ":wq".
It's such an awkward letter to reach, also I'm stuck in my ways leave me alone
