nuke it from orbit. it's the only way to be sure.
- Wait for a sufficiently powerful coronal mass ejection to collapse the global electric grid
"Simple and easily explained."
Pretty sure I can learn my grandma to put a fork in any socket to close Vim, no prior knowledge needed
Does colon-capital-Q-exclamation mark even work? I'm pretty sure it's only lower case q.
its supposed to be lowercase,
but imgflip put the entire text in uppercase.
Honestly, the joke landed anyway. I've done numerous uppercase-Q trying to quit, because I didn't let go of Shift fast enough after typing the colon...
Was going to say this, myself.
you can close vim?
"this is my life now"
cat /dev/zero > "/proc/$(pidof vim)/mem" is my favorite dumb way. Clear its memory, wait for the segfault.
...you can write to program memory? Idk how exactly but that feels like a security risk.
It's your process, why shouldn't you be able to write to it? Vi is certainly doing it...
You do need to be root to do it to arbitrary processes.
dumb way.
Get fancy, add progress bar: pv < /dev/zero > "/proc/$(pidof vim)/mem"
Amateur. Just unplug the power cable.
Open vim.
Accept vim is the OS now.
ctrl-z
kill %1
holy crap,
that's exactly what i wanted the last command to do.
i just didn't know you can target jobs,
and settled with quitting the shell instead
yeah it's my favorite way to exit Vim. I post it every time I get a chance lol https://gekinzuku.com/comment/202790
ctrl-S instinctively from windows then panic when the terminal pauses and isnt accepting input so you restart the computer.
Fuck, are you me?
One panel below: shut down the computer
ZZ will save file though, the others won't. You meant ZQ.
M-! pkill -9 vim
Alt+PrtScn o
⏻
til shift-z shift-z. am I stupid
- Ctrl + T + alt
- sudo reboot
Does unplugging the machine not work?
I call my local energy provider and simply cancel my contract with immediate effect.
try...
:x
it will save your changes and exit vim If there are no changes to the then it just exits vim.
