People can remember the Konami code but :-q-! is too difficult apparently.
Except it doesn't work because you're in edit mode.
After noticing that ctrl+c doesn't work he tried typing
exit
, which put him in edit mode.Unless you are on a Mac, then ctrl is META, and META+c gets you to the place where you can :q!
ESC is just too far to deal with when using vi.
Don't try to use the terminal on Mac. Its not linux
But it is UNIX, which Linux is not.
Horray? Linux is the defaco standard and protected under gpl
Go ask Red Hat for their sources.
EDIT: I’m a Linux Performance Engineer with 15 years under my belt and I use a Mac as my daily driver. Including when I gasp interface with Linux computers because it’s always a combination of ssh and configuration management of some form. Telling me that Mac users don’t use vim is, on its face, one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. It’s a text based interface. I could do it with Windows, but I’m faster on Macs.
