Damn, I guess you need a new phone.
I’ve been telling myself that for a while.
I guess it’s time now.
You don’t exit Vim. Only Vim exits you.
Obviously, you need to feed the cow first!
There should be a hardware reset pin hole somewhere near the place where PIN/SD cards are placed. It was designed specifically for VIM users. Hold it using with a narrow object.
I’m stealing this forever. Thank you.
I solemnly swear to explain “it’s for Vim users” every time I speak of those little pin reset buttons in the future.
Too late. You’ll need a new phone.
I’ve learned a few new commands now.
:e
dials an existing contact, and:w
saves contact information.:q!
is super useful for hanging up on robo-callersI think this thing could work… I dub it the vimphone!
Click the home button?
Force stop the app!! Turn off the phone!! Throw it into Mordor! Its literally the only way
I sense that the creature Golum may yet have some part to play before the end of this journey.
Press Escape
Type :q!
Press enter
Gotta save the cow. So type :wq
:x
ZZ
Added context. ESC exits Insert mode (or any other mode you are in) : tells vim you are entering a command q is the command for quit ! tells vim for force quit (without saving)
Alternatively, :wq will write (save) the file then quit.
Is this real ? 😂
