Got a new macbook with the butterfly keyboard 3 weeks ago. Now the "i" key just stopped working... only use Vim... sigh

5€ Cherry Keyboards can do it for years

Welcome to devRant! You'll really be screwed if the a key stops working, too.

@iAmNaN true fact!

@iAmNaN and thanks

Ooo... my colleague bought one and had a key die in a couple of days too. Apple replaced it without question, but sounds like there's a design flaw there.

1) append file that have i in it. cat file >> editing_file
2) open editing_file, delete unnecessary text and copy character 'i' in some register ex. "ayw
3) when u want to type, use 'a' or 'c'
4) when u want to type 'i', just paste by register "ap
(kidding..., buy or grab another keyboard mate xD)

@CSaratakij ;) funny u!
I'm afraid it's stuck to this piece of alu...

You're actually only screwed if q doesn't work anymore. Trapped in vim lel

@filthyranter u can use ZZ so its fine xD

@filthyranter hah! There are worse places to be stuck
