Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    :ggdGwq (please don't do this)

    VIM Golf.... Same outcome, fewer strokes:

    %d|wq

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    you can replace wq with x

    :%d|x

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

    Only in Vim, not in Vi.

    E492: Not an editor command: ggdGwq

    [–] ignotum 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I use Vim daily, and i have absolutely no clue what that command would do, what would it do? Delete the document, save and quit?

    [–] filiberto_kunstlinger 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

    exactly.

    gg -> go to top of document

    d -> delete (actually, it's cut, but it destroys the mnemonic)

    G -> here is a modifier to "d" and tells it do "delete until end of document"

    w -> write current state of buffer to disk

    q -> exit program

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Actually not, binds and commands aren't the same. ggdG only works as a series of inputs, while wq only works as a command (with the colon).

    [–] victorz 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Exactly. The colon needs to be just before the w, not at the front of the sequence...

    [–] CaptainBlagbird 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    And while you're at it, throw an ESC in there at the beginning, will ya?

    [–] victorz 2 points 10 months ago

    If you want to cover every case (mode), indeed. 😊

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

    yeah, I screwed it up

    [–] surewhynotlem 2 points 10 months ago

    gg

    Huh.. I always just used :1

    ggdGZZ

    This actually does what you intend to do. On nvim atleast.
