I'm trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

I'm honestly not super familiar with vim. I tried :q! and it accepted it, what are some other ways?

Halfway true :3 I'm only a professional programmer which is why I attend in professional work fashion like thigh highs and arm warmers instead of fursuits. I'm more the stereotypical femboy programmer. Pre-edit: am i really just average 3,:

[–] EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Okay, you are a very cool and sweet femboy programmer :)

Ah, unfortunately it only asks you this question the first time you try it.

Ah, thanks for ZQ. I only knew ZZ, alternative to :x.

:wq will save and then exit, while :x will save only if the file has been modified and then exit, and then there's ZZ that does the same as :x, plus there are probably others:-)

The question specifically asked for "the command to quit Vim without saving"

[–] uzay@infosec.pub 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They explicitly ask for the one that quits without saving, so I'd say :q! is the obvious choice

[–] GiantRobotTRex@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago

I agree that it's the most obvious choice, but it also doesn't work when there are hidden buffers open. :qa! and :cq should always work so they are arguably more correct

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago

Which means none of those are valid? Since this is specifically "quit without saving"
