I've been a vim user for 15 years and I still often type `:Q` and `:W`. Everyone types differently and some people make mistakes. Your blaming the victim inste

  What parent @waisbrot is saying seems uncommon (the source of this whole conversation), but granted, perhaps common enough (or is it instead worrisome enough) that nvim community took it out. I still type :Q and :W as well, but that is not what is being discussed. Have you ever irrevocably bricked your system, as @waisbrot mentioned they have twice, from typing :W or :Q? Have you ever bricked your system from typing :X? If so, that isn’t a “use :x vs :wq” problem, that’s seems more of a use common sense problem.

    OP said exactly "I've twice encrypted my file with password like `cd tmp`" Not sure how you get "irrevocably bricked your system" from "encrypted my file", but you do you, I guess You should also let the OP do the OP. They said they made a mistake. Simply, without complaining, and they do something else now. It's that simple

      Parent (not OP) said more exactly > I've twice encrypted my file with password like `cd tmp`, then saved the config file, breaking my system. I get “irrevocably bricked system” from the fact that they “broke their system” and I am inferring it could only be something worth mentioning if it were irreversible. I originally was trying to point out that parent was off-topic, because :x and :X are different. But a fleet of downvotes flooded in, so I defended my viewpoint for the catharsis.
