It's also impossible to save, so it never gets improved

Escape
Shift + Z + Z

Great, now I need a keyboard with two Z keys?
35
Get one with 3 Z's incase one breaks
19
You can tap one of the z on your computer keyboard and the otherone one your phone keyboard. You just need to be very syncronised in your movements
(irl : tap the z key twice)

I know lol.
Should be shift +z, z
2
or :q! if you don’t wanna save

Yeah but it looks like a smiley face liking its nose

That's a weird looking face
1
or :wq if you do want to save.

Open source software isn't much of a theme over there. They care more about JS frameworks, "Java sucks" and soyware. Because vim is the text / code editor used by many linux users, who generally care more about FOSS, I posted this here.

You forgot "python slow" memes

The fuck is soyware? I want to bully then for even making that word up,, the moment that thought flashed in their mind they should've been too ashamed to dare post it.

yes and no, vim is a text editor, you dont have to write code on it, I sometimes write notes in a notes folder using vim and well, it does what is designed to do, in the other part vim is also only avaliable on linux, so it kind of fits this sub more rather than programminghumour

vim is also only available on linux
"Looks at the vim window open in powershell windows"
Guess I'm doing something ilegal.

To the slammer with you

tbh, I can say this because im in linuxmemes, else I would get infinite negative karma, but if youre running vim from windows on a powershell shell youre kind of a masochist at that point
2
I don't see why. I mean, I like vim and it installs as simple as scoop install vim. If I need to use windows, I don't see why I shouldn't use a tool I'm used to.
Btw you can install PowerShell core on linux. Not that you want to but it is possible.
2
To be pedantic...available for unix , bsd, macOS also

And Haiku, so non-UNIXes too.

I forgot about Haiku. It is nice that the OS installs in about 30 seconds.

You literally made me go check to see if v4 had just been published. Shame upon your misinformation! :)

Vim license is weird. It's GPL compatible but they snuck some Kony 2012 shit in there like they thought nobody would notice.
-23
Kony 2012 shit? Do you mean the fact that Vim is charityware, that its license encourages you to contribute to a childrens hospital if you want to show your support? I don't see what's wrong with that.
I also don't see what you mean by snuck it in there? It's very prominently visible on both the website and in the helptext?
24
Yeah that's pretty much what I mean. I don't care for shilling or advertising in the free software I use.
-23
I think it's a bit presumptous to say that a maintainer who has spent decades maintaining a highly used software including a "consider donating to impoverished children" message in their softwares license (which in no way obliges the user to do so) is "shilling"
22
It is by definition. Promoting some scam isn't not-shilling just because you don't get anything out of it.
-26
I just read tbe license ( https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/LICENSE ), and I see nothing of the sort. what license are you talking about?

Mega Mind: Minion!
Minion: Yes, sir!
Mega Mind: What is happening to my computer?
Minion: You've opened Vim, sir.
Mega Mind: Well how do I get out?
Minion: You just type Esc :q!
Mega Mind: Diabolical! How would anyone ever guess that? I'll have to devise a new plan to capture Metro Man... using Vim!
Minion: *sighs*
