nanoers just never figured out how to :wq
if you listen closely, you can still hear the terminal bells ringing of those that never managed to ESC
Those who never managed to ESC, reset.
Use
:xyou plebThey just said
:wqin school, so thanks for the tip. Hard to believe it saves even when the file hasn't been changed if you use:wq. What is the use case for that? If the file gets changed in another program and you want to revert?? Edit: Just saw the comment about the modification times being updated.But what if you wanted to write even if there weren't changes?
And how often do you want to do that exactly?
Then you use
:wq:x? Real Programmers useZZ.habit lol. i use :w a lot so :wq feels like a natural extension
Heh yeah and it's not like it makes any difference; they're effectively the same thing.
:wqjust updates modification time even if there were no changes – same as doing:wand:qseparately – but:xdoesn't. Super intuitive interface 😅
