Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

How do I exit vim?
Restart the computer ;)
It's pretty simple:
Simple!-ish
Not to be pedantic, but it's not shift+; it's :, which may be somewhere else depending on your keyboard. For example on (german?) Quertz that's shift+.
This is true, but since I already used ":" to indicate an upcoming list, I wanted to be deliberately clear that I was referring to the key, and not suggesting another list.
Why would you want to do that? Vim is efficiency. Without vim, you're wasting your life.
I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?
It's all around.
I’d rather use nano than try to figure out how to type the letter h in vim for five years, only then to forget how to save and quit
Vim actually feels quite natural to people who use vim.
Sleeping in a bed of barbed wire feels quite natural to people who are used to sleeping in a bed of barbed wire.
Now you're getting it! /s
Exactly. What OP should do is never close vim. You don’t need to close it.
:q!
A surprised emoticon with a cigar hanging out of its mouth isn't particularly helpful.
All vim commands are emoticons
You just discarded all of your changes.
Yeah, because it all got trashed from the previous keyboard mashing.
Press 'Esc', and then 'ZZ'
What if I am not sleepy?
Simply spend a couple hours configuring vim
opening vim is like entering purgatory
For the longest time I thought that answer was Ctrl-Z
Same here in the beginning I used
