1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Is there an editor that can request root privileges without restarting it? That would be quite useful.

    In vim, in normal mode you can do: :w !sudo tee %

    Apparently that doesn't work in NeoVim, so recently I installed the suda plugin.

    Personally, I just doas nvim and then the file name that needs root access, but it's a handy plugin in case I forget.

    ??? I used this in neovim twice today

    :w !sudo tee % then reload when it asks.

    It's a simple trick in Vim:

    For the lazy: :w !sudo tee > /dev/null %

    Yeah, in emacs you use tramp to open the file with /sudo::

    micro ftw, no need to even memorize a command, it'll just ask if you want to use sudo

    kate does this in KDE, but it's not cli.

    (n)vim + suda.vim.
