Not this, but I do fairly often think assume I'm in vim when I'm not. `alias :q="echo NOT IN VIM!!!"`

  Not just `alias :q exit`?
  • heelhook 9y ago
    Not really, if they mean `:q` to exit vim and go back to the terminal `alias :q=exit` wouldn't produce the desired result.
    • maerF0x0 9y ago
      could really mess with it: > alias :q=vim -c ':q'

  My favorite one of these is typing ctrl-w (cut in emacs) in a browser tab as I am editing a bunch of text in a text box.
  • steinuil 9y ago
    I use vimperator, so the only program I use a lot which still doesn't recognize ctrl+w is Hexchat. My friends have gotten used to see me part the channel and rejoin shortly after, cursing my fingers.

      Hexchat closing on C-w is such a pain! It can't be scripted away either because it's hardcoded in the source. I haven't looked into this for some time but there does seem to have been some updates. https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues/397 https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues/397

        That sounds like the kind of thing that would be really easy to maintain your own fork for...
    • auscompgeek 9y ago
      HexChat parting on Ctrl+w is probably one of the main reasons that drove me to use a TUI IRC client like weechat.

    One of the things I appreciate about macOS is that it implements some of the emacs behavior (C-a, C-e, C-k). Unfortunately not C-y, and non of the M- ones work since that's for special characters. I understand they originally come from the readline library.
    • jasonm23 9y ago
      Now try C-k and then C-y Then regular old Cmd + v. You're welcome.
  • kqr 9y ago
    Well, cutting is called killing in Emacs...
    • pvorb 9y ago
      So why is emodendroket referring to ctrl-w then?
      • emodendroket 9y ago
        In other words ctrl-w is "kill," which is what most people would think of as "cut," and ctrl-y is "yank," which is what most people would think of as "paste."
        • jasonm23 9y ago
          And Vimmers would think of yank as copy or kill save
          • kqr 9y ago
            That's funny. Never thought about that. I guess Emacs people think of it as yanking from the clipboard to the document, and Vim people think of it as yanking from the document into the clipboard.
  • polymeris 9y ago
    Heh, for me ctrl-w means "extend selection to enclosing expression", which leads to the same issue in browsers.

    You can try Lazarus form recovery[1] to mitigate your pain. It locally saves the content of forms and allows you to pull it back. [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-recovery/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-...

  I really do that a lot so I aliased 'q' to exit in shell.
• z1mm32m4n 9y ago
  I actually aliased :q to clear: https://github.com/jez/dotfiles/blob/master/util/aliases.sh#L32 https://github.com/jez/dotfiles/blob/master/util/aliases.sh#... I also have clera, lcear, and lcera -> clear, and :tabe -> vim.
  • AdamGibbins 9y ago
    Are you aware Ctrl-l also clears? I can't recall the last time I typed clear.
    • jasonm23 9y ago
      I have to admit, I wince when I see someone type clear.
