      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.

      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”.

    • WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’d be great if there were side kind of feedback, like the cursor quickly flashing a “C” or something… anything to let you know the operation occurred; better yet, was successful.

      source
      • kbotc@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I actually disagree from a systems engineer perspective: The program doesn’t actually know shit if those bits hit any permanent medium, just that the OS told them “I’ll take care of it” it could be sitting in a write back cache when you save, see the “write complete” and rip the power and that’s all gone now. Basically, I don’t like promising durability when it’s not really there.

      • DrDeadCrash@programming.dev ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Check for an asterisk after the file name (in the tab/title bar), it means “unsaved changes”.

    We can optimize this further:

    unsatisfied = true
while(unsatisfied) {
    key.dispatch(
        Keyboard::Ctrl,
        Keyboard::s
    )
}

    …No, there is no instance where unsatisfied changes state

        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.)

      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.

      source
      • blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        God I hate this so much. It’s especially frustrating on mobile where it takes like thirty seconds to try to get the right part of the text copied and use the fucking magnified blue dots… Ugh.

        It saves all files that are changed rather, than just the current ones you have open.

    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.

    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.

    Ctrl-S? Are you writing code on Windows? 🤮

    source
    • knexcar@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      First of all, it’s fine to write code on Windows. In fact, many companies have windows-only development workflows.

      Second of all, many Linux programs also use standard shortcuts like Ctrl+S. Linux is more than Vim.

    Why would you ever use an editor that could lose your work unless you save? Vim users will never understand that.

    source
    • Beanie@programming.dev ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Actually vim has swap files which it saves to when you make any edit, whether you save the change or not, meaning you shouldn’t lose any work even if you kill -9 vim on unsaved work.

      source
      • darklamer@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yes, exactly. Why would anyone ever use an editor that doesn’t work like that, where unsaved work could disappear? I can’t understand that.
