- arendtio 6y agoSome time ago, I read, that the usage of :x is discouraged, as the typo :X is easy to make and leads to encrypting the file accidentally.
- lucb1e 6y agoTIL vim has encryption. If you're annoyed by typoing stuff, like I'm annoyed by typing :Wq or :WQ, you can just alias it of course. Since you (and, presumably, nobody) ever use(s) vim encryption it doesn't matter to override it. vimrc: command Wq wq command WQ wq command W w command Q q
- seszett 6y agoMy problem is writing :x instead of :w (on an AZERTY keyboard) and accidentally exiting when I just wanted to save.
- hiq 6y agoUse neovim instead to solve this problem, :X has been removed (and you shouldn't use it in vim either anyway).
