How to exit vim reaches 1M views on stack overflow

It's almost as if a CLI without any sort of consistency ends up being hard to use.
...nah, that's crazy talk. They're just dumb Windows n00bz.

Besides, whenever I'm browsing the net, my hand's almost always on the mouse since that's typically how you navigate sites anyways. It's just natural for me to click the back button.
On Chrome I right click a blank space then select "back" since it's slightly faster.
On decent browsers I just use the right click+drag left mouse gesture.

Same with Mouse4.
That one's actually really handy. I use it all the time.

That sounds excessive. I prefer a more… surgical strike.
dd if=/dev/zero bs=10240 count=1000 | sudo tee `which vim` >/dev/zero
Let what comes from nothing go whence it came.

@Gurth Is it
python
's interpreter?

meh. why delete the executable if you've already corrupted the MBR/GPT table? just kill init and force the kernelpanic and make the sysadmin test her backups to restore the server.

Not using mouse gestures is

You could be evil, and just corrupt the C library a little bit, in a fairly rarely used function. See how long it takes for the sysadmin to realise that they're not actually crazy. Don't forget to reset the
mtime
afterwards. ;)

Can't be evaluated; sysadmins are all crazy.

I miss the right click-left click gesture from Opera.

@RaceProUK What are you saying? That you can’t do that in vim‽
If it were gVim, though, that should totally work.

@RaceProUK said in How to exit vim reaches 1M views on stack overflow:
@Gurth Well, given people need a 19-chapter book to know how to quit it, kinda, yeah :P
As I recall, my very first hands-on experience with Linux for some reason saw me start vim — probably because some guide or other said it was the text editor that came with it. I’m not entirely sure anymore, but I think I may have ended up pressing the reset button in order to get out of it.
Suffice to say, I tried not to do that again (start vim, that is) and went on to be an Emacs user.

's interpreter?That’s what I thought at first, but a quick test before I posted proved me wrong, else I would have mentioned it by name :)
$ python Python 3.0.1 (r301:69597, Feb 14 2009, 19:03:52) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> KeyboardInterrupt >>> $
(That’s a ^C on the first >>> line and a ^D on the second.)

@gleemonk And this is why I prefer
Emacs: Ctrl+X, Ctrl+Ca real text editor. Clicking the close button works every time

a real text editor
IOW, you're not talking about Notepad
-
@TimeBandit no. Notepad++ is my usual "quickly open a text file" go to, mainly because it's part of the default install at work. I also like sublime text, textpad and VS Code
