Not if you're innocently browsing a file in less, accidentally hit `v` instead of `ctrl v`, and suddenly find yourself in Vi, possibly now in some weird mode due to the other keys you just pressed under the assumption you're still in less.
- aargh_aargh 6y agoOMG, how am I only now learning about this life-changing feature? I need to read man less again.

- ornornor 6y agoNeat, didn’t know about v! But on my system (Ubuntu 18.04), Ctrl-v doesn’t do anything. What’s it for?
- logicchains 6y agoScroll down one page; it's an Emacs hotkey.
