minus-squareGoku@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoWhy do so many people prefer :wq over :x?
minus-squarerwhitisissle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoBecause :wq to me means “Issue command write, followed by command quit.” “Issue command x” to me means nothing in the context of vim, and ctrl + x on most systems is reserved for cutting, so it just “feels” wrong.
