Those who really use vim would never bother to move their hands so much to touch that damn thing. :q! FTW
-
brettski5026y@ScriptCoded that would be a much better use of the Touch Bar, a help bar! Show the most common commands on it.
-
hjk10157536y@gajahterbang that might not be the same as quit vim.
Question is :wq! or q!
So ZZ or ZQ -
I sometimes wonder why the vim default theme is such shit though.
I understand vi has to be small, but vim or neovim could have better colors. Of course we can theme it, but still. -
@phoxis Haha, if you know how to type in vim, you don't need a button to exit ;)

@not-sure CTRL-[ is even better because it's supported on all Vim emulations and platforms. I'd prefer CTRL-C but I read it's not supported everywhere so I trained myself with [.
-
@Chewy8 if it was fully up to Apple, they'd ship their own Vim, without :q and you'd need to codesign and disable SIP to build/install regular Vim.

devs30816y@Hastouki and the location of [ varies a lot from country to country. I personally always use the UK layout, but as I live in Denmark, I often use other’s computers, or accessing servers physically where the keyboard configuration is Danish.
Honestly I’ve never experienced a version of vim where ctrl + c don’t work, so I’d rather train my hand to make the same shortcut whether my keyboard layout is DK or UK, or anything else -
@Hastouki The two hand thing isn't really an issue since both my hands stay locked on the keyboard. It's more having to use my ring finger on the [ that I don't find the most comfortable, though I'm mostly used to it.
