IMHO, it’s a horrible hack that is just broken. It’s obscure and we need to rewrite it because it has a bad structure. XCquit[ESC][ESC]C
You must log in or # to comment.
The best way I know to quit vi is by turning off your computer
Why would you quit vim?
To open nano of course
Because you meant to open ed: the standard text editor.
you can also accomplish that by turning off city’s electrical grid
Takes too long for the UPS to run down…
I’m one of those people who think that Perl is a write-only language
-Linus torvaldsI’m absolutely guilty of self-documenting code, but mostly because I’m sick of everyone else’s lying comments.
"I can read this Perl scrip"t should translate to “I’m lying”.
ESC +
:q!ESC to enter normal mode (if you’re in a different mode like insert) : (colon) to enter commands q to quit ! (or a) to use the quit command withiut keeping any changes
He’s speaking the language of the gods…
ESC + (shift) ZZ is faster and also saves your changes!
I can’t read this perl script may also apply to something you wrote last week.
“The reason I use Perl is because I wanna write scripts that no one can read and no one can understand so that I can keep my job”
The first phrase spoken when opening a new project, be it yours or someone elses… “What the fuck…”
What fucking idiot wrote this? Looking at your own code from 6 months ago
IMHO it’s a complex, temporary work around with a few issues.
Also vim > emacs
i use nano and i will die on this hill
Nano is the only one I know how to use lol (assuming we’re talking about in-terminal text editors)
And i have used it exclusively for editing Minecraft and KSP server config files
Im definitely a programmer :P
The Perl one has got me:)
Hey, now. It is possible to write readable Perl code—it’s just less interesting that way. 😜
I’ve been seeing a lot of Perl jokes lately and as far as legacy code I haven’t had to edit anything written in that in 25 or so years. For those that haven’t used it, getting form variables and rudimentary things like that were like equivalent to regular expressions, everything had some obscure expression you had to look up or copy paste.
