Songs about Vim

Nano ftw

And micro for the future
- I'm too used to nano, switching for micro for a while I was constantly using nano key combos and making a mess of things.
  
  Stockholm syndrome from key combos lol

Vim user here. The only way to exit vim is to pray to the Vim gods and sacrifice your first born, hoping that they'll cause a cosmic ray to hit the right spot in the memory to flip the right bit that causes it to exit. There are no alternatives.

I usually just power-cycle the machine
- Are you guys serious? Command q. or x. or wq. or use a proper fucking terminal so you can ctrl -z and resume.

easy mnemonic to quit vim: imagine you're captain Picard in the middle of typing ":3" when Q shows up

Or, hear me out, : because you're doing a command, and then q for quit. Probably make it wq too, to write and quit
- did you know there is a vim tutor for learning how to vim?
- Forgot
  
  Escape first, because it wants to keep you inside the matrix and you need to tell it you are trying to escape
  
  q!
  
  Because you probably don’t want to save whatever you’ve accidentally done to that file trying to quit, and you have to add an exclamation point because unless you yell loudly at vim it won’t listen
- No, that doesn't make any sense. We need something convoluted so that people don't remember it next time it's needed.
- That's one too many letters. Need to use x for maximum efficiency gains.

Just because this is a vim meme, does anyone know how to copy text from one instance of vim to the other?

You can yank text to system clipboard buffer ie +. Then paste (put) from the clipboard to any other vim process.

Keep in mind you should have clipboard support in your vim. If you're on ubuntu, install vim-gtk and you should be good
- I'm on Debian, but my VM is an Ubuntu server, so that should work!
Just use a single instance of Emacs to edit everything everywhere all at once. You can even use vim keybindings if you have no taste.
- Emacs is more for devs though, yeah? I'm just a lowly sysadmin in training.
Install xclip then press "+y (double-quote plus-sign y) to yank to system clipboard then "+p to put from sys clipboard
Fuck it, use neovim and copy to the system clipboard.
I think you can just use y and p
Instance of Vim? Swap buffers fool
- Would this work if one of those instances was in a VM?
Copy the text to a local clipboard, then paste it into your terminal in the other instance

IDK I only use vim over ssh

I have been a vim user for more than 20 years. I tried to quit for a couple of years, but now I have just accepted my faith.

Vim enthusiasts are just people with late stage Stockholm syndrome

Is there any playlist that wouldn’t be improved by adding Cat by C418 at the end?

there aren't.

& most people don't even know what/ who C418 is...
- He was that guy working on the music for that 0x10c game, right?
- most people don't even know what/ who C418 is...
  
  most people would recognise his songs though...
- MINECRAFT!!!!
- Cat by C418 is literally the only piece in the list I recognize.

Why do you want to exit? Just :terminal

RIP to people who never shutdown or restart their PCs

I have a few more suggestions:

JACKBOYS - WHAT TO DO?
Travis Scott - LOST FOREVER
Travis Scott - Impossible

Less is more, or rather, more is less

less really is more with more features. and more IS less with less features

Someone finally exited vim

Confirmed 😄

It's really not that hard v.v Caring to learn all' the shenans, that's the hard part. Same goes for Emacs. Archaic interfaces for the sake of archaism or "cool cred," I say 🤷

Edit: Also haha the joke is funny :P

Funny story. After you start you can't go back. What is a nano?

Edit: If ctrl-z doesn't get you out of vim you need to install another terminal or more likely just ditch your distro altogether.

Nuka Cola is better

Nano >>> vim

Pull the plug - Death

Sudo visudo is always a struggle

:killall -9 vim

The Bad Religion album No Control is entirely about their hate of emacs
