Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Once you try Vim you will never use another text editor. Or any other program for that matter because you won't be able to exit.

    [–] davidgro@lemmy.world 32 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    I also had that experience with emacs, which has a built in help system. I couldn't find a topic on 'exit' or 'quit' and refused to just search online.

    Took me half an hour.

    and refused to just search online

    Unless you were f*cked by your ISP as I am right now, that's having some balls. Or being masochist. But nothing in between

    I really didn't want to let it win.

    [–] Vuraniute@thelemmy.club 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    I'm editor bilingual but im a bit rusty in Emacs, so skill check: its C-x C-c right?

    [–] wookiepedia@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

    Ctrl + meta + butterfly

    [–] ytg@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

    Yes. Though I believe it only kills the current frame if there are multiple

    [–] Thwompthwomp@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

    No, I think that exits. C-c k kills the buffer, C-x 0 (zero) will kill the frame. But I may have changed my binds and can never remember which is window and which is frame in emacs terms.

    However, it’s somewhat moot as just about everywhere you run emacs, it’ll open up in gui mode and you can use the file menu. (Or use F10 to bring up the menus in terminal, but I have no idea where on the manual it would say that)

    What are you running MS-DOS? laughs in multi-tasking.

    I just drag my vi terminals to another workspace and launch a new editor.

    I just drag my vi terminals to another workspace and launch a new editor.

    I see what you did there. Lol.
