You can use :wq only once
I use quake style terminals, and often start writing a file and completely forget about it and turn off the computer, and only remember what i left behind when i find the random recovery files around, so :w a lot is quite useful for me.
Quake? The FPS? I’m confused, though I knew a little about Linux
Yes, on classic fps you could spaw a console that will drop down from the top os the screen, some terminal emulators allow you to do that.
I like it because then i have the terminal always open that i just draw from the top of the screen with a keypress
On KDE i do that with Yakuake, and on gnome with tilix
You can also use Guake on GNOME or basically on any desktop. I’ve also use it on Cinnamon and it’s really nice.
So choose wisely. All other editor instances must remain open forever.
*per open file
:x
My biggest (mostly) irrational internet pet peeve is the proliferation of people suggesting “:wq” when “:x” is strictly better.
:w before ZZ just to make sure
Make all changes
:wq!
Force that bitch!
Is there any reason to use :w other than it being the default? I have mine mapped to CTRL-S and it makes sure to keep me in insert mode if I was in insert mode. Feels way faster and easier to spam than the 4 key presses it takes to execute “:w”.
I’m just used to it and I’m keeping ny time in instert mode at minimum.
This will allow you to ctrl+s to save. I tried to add this in a backtick code line/block but it removes part of the syntax.Sorry but I’m already used to :w stoo much and a lot faster with it than ctrl+s
Requires me to use my pibky for ctrl. I have esc remaped to caps so its faster for ke to just do :w
not mapping semicolon to colon

When you do this using Word online it be like “chill dude we autosave here, we got you” and I’m like “brother I do not trust you”.
You are wise beyond your years.
We can optimize this further:
unsatisfied = true while(unsatisfied) { key.dispatch( Keyboard::Ctrl, Keyboard::s ) }
…No, there is no instance where
unsatisfied
changes stateYou should just be able to
while(true)
It’s a joke.
That sounds like an excuse.
Don’t worry, most modern brains have a builtin jit compiler, so when a habit starts to form, the check will be optimised out. (It saves excess neurons from being generated.)
It’s because the first time doesn’t always work. I swear, sometimes it doesn’t!
Ctrl + C literally doesn’t work at times, it drives me crazy. It might be due to some shitty applications and websites overriding it or adding complexity (Like copying not only the text but additional information).
I’m often 100% sure I copied the text, change the window and an old clipboard entry gets pasted.
CTRL + Shift + S is the real GOAT
Why?
It saves all files that are changed rather than just the current one you have open.
TIL thanks!
Ctrl+s means “stop the presses” to VT100 terminal emulators and you have to press ctrl+q to resume. Key combinations from a different era.
Dude I save almost every time I type anything. It’s muscle memory at this point.
I’ve never had to think about that with Intellij IDEA. It just works!
I still click Ctrl S occasionally when using pycharm. It’s the law.

I just can’t stand Kate showing me a little orange bar meaning I have not saved the changes yet. The bar must be green! I am a slave to the green bar. The white dot in vscode (I use an open source build) is a bit more tolerable, but whenever I notice it I HAVE to save the file.
Kate
Ah! Another fellow coder of culture!
It’s such a good text editor.
Love me some Kate.
This is me in eclipse.
Because I used to do the single save and it failed
Cost/benefit
Manually saving will save a lot more time than it not saving
sync ; sync ; sync ; shutdown -h now
I trust auto save in… Souls games.
Closing tabs and one of them asks if you want to save changes
