exactly.

gg -> go to top of document

d -> delete (actually, it's cut, but it destroys the mnemonic)

G -> here is a modifier to "d" and tells it do "delete until end of document"

w -> write current state of buffer to disk

q -> exit program

Actually not, binds and commands aren't the same. ggdG only works as a series of inputs, while wq only works as a command (with the colon).

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Exactly. The colon needs to be just before the w, not at the front of the sequence...

And while you're at it, throw an ESC in there at the beginning, will ya?

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

If you want to cover every case (mode), indeed. ๐Ÿ˜Š
