It’s easy.
Escape to exit edit mode : to prefix a command
q to quit
! to confirmNow emacs… those people are crazy.
Asking someone to quit emacs when they never tried before is a great method to generate random strings for a secure password.
I used emacs when I first started programming because it was what my dad showed me and I always thought it was easier than vim. Then I used a bunch of other things for a while and mostly use vim now and whenever I try to use emacs I am so confused because it makes so much less sense than vim after actually using both
You could always use emacs with evil-mode to have vim key bindings
Evil mode, I like that 🤣🤣🤣.
For me vi was my first experience with it.
So yeah, I think it’s often about what you’re used to
I’ve always preferred vi commands, they make sense and are mostly abbreviations or regex, all the other editors have the strangest commands…
To write and quit in vi :wq
To write and quit in nano: ctrl-o, confirmation dialog about tmp files, ctrl-x, confirmation dialog about exiting… weird feeling that I didn’t actually save the file… reopen, okay it saved, ctrl-x, confirmation dialog, weird feeling that I accidently edited the file…
I used nano for years until I forced myself to learn the basics of vi(m), now whenever something opens nano by default it annoys me and I immediately change the editor to vim 😂
Yeah, like Word, you open it, don’t change anything, close, “Do you want to save changes?”… WTF 🤨.
! = Force
Meaning quit without saving. If no changes have been made, you can :q and that will work. If you’ve fumbled and made any change to the file, you’ll need the ! to get it to quit without saving.
I typically just esc :wq
WQ = Write and Quit Q! = quit and do nothing else
Multiline cut, copy, paste is where I forget commands.
Multiline cut
I just use visual edit mode. Or 5yy for copy 5 lines. Paste is easy - p.
I’m shit at navigating and anything with the “g” command. I never bothered learning that.
with Emacs you’re never out of Control
I just reboot. Is that not right?
No you have to shut off from the main circuit breaker, that is the only way to make sure
It’s fine if it works for you 👍.
I manufacture the material for those suits!
Edit: I can tell that they’re the real thing too. I’m surprised they wouldn’t just use a prop. These things are $1600 each!
That’s very cool. And I think the studios rent this kind of stuff
Shit, really? They went all in for the movie, huh… it’s a great movie BTW.

It’s the highest grade for chemical protection!
no. NO. I LEFT THAT MINDVIRUS BEHIND IN 2021 YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME
Does not protect against cognitohazards
Even things like H2SO3 and NaOH?
There’s a list on the website!
Sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide for anyone wondering.
It’s acually sulfurous acid, much more corrosive than sulphuric acid (H2SO4).
What film?
Arrival (2016)
Cheers
Oh you’re in for a fucking TREAT! It’s slow going but really pays off. :D
Sweet. I’ll watch it in the next day or two
It didn’t have too big of a budget either (47 million). We haven’t had a film like it in a while :(
That is true… just goes to show you, an idea is all it takes, money has verry little to do with it.
Solaris, a perfect example. It was like… what… 4 million? Clooney accepted the role just for the heck of it (as many Hollywood stars do, if the script is bad-ass enough, hell, I’ll do it for free). Think of Nicole Kidman and Dogville.
Wow… just WOW… I still get shivers from Dogville.
It’s a rite of passage! I had to learn it so now you do too! Why, when I was young I used to have to walk to school, uphill both ways, in the snow… :-P
But I wanted to save that :(
:x
😵
How to exit Vim?
C-x C-cand follow instructions…I feel like Emacs is going to suffer with the prevalence of window managers that are shortcut heavy. I looked at learning Emacs but the keyboard shortcuts all interfere with Awesome so it’s a nightmare. The only way I’d manage is by switching TTY to terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F-key which kinda ruins it!
My i3 is using shortcuts heavily, my rule is to use Win key for window manager combos and never use it in Emacs. Works fine so far.
Do people use esc for this? It’s so far out of the way. Ctrl-c is the “correct” way.
C-c is incredibly uncomfortable and bad for your carpal tunnels. What people actually do is remap Esc to Caps-Lock and vice-versa. Nobody needs Caps-Lock in such a prominent spot. Alternatively you remap it to Ctrl, then C-c becomes viable, too.
If in doubt, ^Z
Why did you repost my meme?
Edit: Just to clarify this was suppost to be a joke as I posted this after getting it off some article a few years ago. Apologizes for not explaining.
what’s the license?
No license, its a meme (fair use)

How is this even enforceable? What sick twisted soul invented this crap?
Uuummm… you see this in every day life. You go to a strip club, look but don’t touch.
I never got strip clubs to be honest, I’d rather throw that money on a hooker… at least I get to go all the way.
Did you just say that strippers are everyday life?
For some people they are 🤷.
Because it’s great! 😂
Fair enough, to be honest with you I got it from someone a few years back.
It’s genious 😂😂😂.
80% of social media is just reposted memes. TF are you talking about…
Just be happy people are enjoying what you’ve created. It’s not like you were being paid for it anyway.
Uh oh, someone doesnt know the definition of a “meme”
