  You can use :wq only once

    So choose wisely. All other editor instances must remain open forever.

    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

      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

  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.
