    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 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.
