Thank you. I swear every time I see a tutorial where someone is using vim they say to save and close with :wq and it drives me nuts.

- Zenst 7y agoThat is because it is easier to teach as x you will associate with exit, though wq is write quite, but more so if you just want to save without exit you logically understand to just use w and from that you start to think - could I do :q, why yes you can if nothing changed and if so it will tell you. But stressing how people exit vi is like stressing about people's fashion, just not worth it. If anything, have a private laugh at them to yourself and use that to remove other stress as more than enough stress in life, more so IT without seeking it out.
