I Quit (Vim)
- ryan-duve 6y agoI am learning new things about Vim all the time. Could someone tell me why the exclamation point at the end of `:wq`? I generally only use it when I'm not saving the buffer, like `:q!`.
- ggm 6y ago:w! Forces write even if the file exists, eg is chmod -r read-only. :q! quits even if the buffer isn't saved. :wq! Forces write and quits anyway. It can't always work,you have to own the file and have the correct permissions for the directory. Sudo root it overrides the file/dir chmod mask constraints. It can't write over chflags locked files.
