HELP! HOW DO I EXIT VIM? i’ve been stuck here for months, had to create my own browser from scratch.
The first time I got stuck in VI, cell phones didn’t have internet yet. We were a one computer household. I had printed out some instructions on how to modify XF86 configs. I had tried typing out every version of [ESC] I could come up with.
If it wouldn’t have been for VI I would have been into Linux probably a decade earlier. It’s now my editor of choice but it probably wouldn’t have killed them to detect control x and give you a little hint text somewhere.
it probably wouldn’t have killed them
It does pop a help message on CTRL C now. Also, Bram sadly died recently. Coincidence?
give you a little hint text somewhere
At least it’s not ed informing you of an error:

If you were about to type VirtualBox instead of Qemu or virt-manager, you deserved it!
This joke was made ten thousand times but this version is not low effort. I appreciate it.
I just can’t quit making
vi
jokesOnly six?
I usually use
vim
so I guess technically it’s 994 jokes.
When you reboot your computer to exit a program.
Ah shit… The trash comedy folks made it here after all
but what about the church of EMACs?
that’s a different operating system
This joke is so stale you could make penicillin out it.
Is he running his system from something like FAT to make executing VI do something useful?
:q!
Glad the genie could escape
