People can remember the Konami code but :-q-! is too difficult apparently.
Except it doesn't work because you're in edit mode.
Ahem, per the cartoon, the genie typed "vi", which leaves vi in command mode.
As an emacs user, I'm ctrl-x ctrl-c with this conversation.
After noticing that ctrl+c doesn't work he tried typing exit
, which put him in edit mode.
I have sent emails with ":w" on at least one occasion.
Esc, then :q-t
Or ZZ, more simple and immediately after typing it you start hearing random ZZ Top song.
Driving While Blind
Me hoping it's "Waiting for the Bus"
Damn, "Legs" again.
If you were about to type VirtualBox instead of Qemu or virt-manager, you deserved it!
HELP! HOW DO I EXIT VIM? i've been stuck here for months, had to create my own browser from scratch.
The first time I got stuck in VI, cell phones didn't have internet yet. We were a one computer household. I had printed out some instructions on how to modify XF86 configs. I had tried typing out every version of [ESC] I could come up with.
If it wouldn't have been for VI I would have been into Linux probably a decade earlier. It's now my editor of choice but it probably wouldn't have killed them to detect control x and give you a little hint text somewhere.
it probably wouldn't have killed them
It does pop a help message on CTRL C now. Also, Bram sadly died recently. Coincidence?
[ESC]:!pkill -9 ^vi
This joke was made ten thousand times but this version is not low effort. I appreciate it.
I just can't quit making vi
jokes
Only six?
I usually use vim
so I guess technically it's 994 jokes.
When you reboot your computer to exit a program.
This joke is so stale you could make penicillin out it.
:q!
Ah shit.. The trash comedy folks made it here after all
but what about the church of EMACs?
that's a different operating system
Is he running his system from something like FAT to make executing VI do something useful?
Glad the genie could escape
