Average day in (neo)vim

Some of us have PTSD from losing work back in the day. Now it’s just habit.

:wa!

When you do this using Word online it be like “chill dude we autosave here, we got you” and I’m like “brother I do not trust you”.

We can optimize this further:

unsatisfied = true
while(unsatisfied) {
    key.dispatch(
        Keyboard::Ctrl,
        Keyboard::s
    )
}

..No, there is no instance where unsatisfied changes state

It's because the first time doesn't always work. I swear, sometimes it doesn't!

CTRL + Shift + S is the real GOAT

:w!

Ctrl+s means "stop the presses" to VT100 terminal emulators and you have to press ctrl+q to resume. Key combinations from a different era.

I've never had to think about that with Intellij IDEA. It just works!

I just can't stand Kate showing me a little orange bar meaning I have not saved the changes yet. The bar must be green! I am a slave to the green bar. The white dot in vscode (I use an open source build) is a bit more tolerable, but whenever I notice it I HAVE to save the file.

I really should turn on auto save when vscode loses focus.

Dude I save almost every time I type anything. It's muscle memory at this point.

Cost/benefit

Manually saving will save a lot more time than it not saving

you CTRL+C CTRL+C CTRL+C CTRL+C CTRL+C

I CTRL+X CTRL+V we are not the same.

This is me in eclipse.

Because I used to do the single save and it failed

MFRs are saving each keystroke they have access to.

C-x C-s

I trust auto save in... Souls games.

sync ; sync ; sync ; shutdown -h now

Closing tabs and one of them asks if you want to save changes

Meanwhile I, a gentleman

nmap <CR> :w<CR>

Binding the Enter key to save the current buffer. 🧐

Using JetBrains product, I never explicitly save while programming 😅

But then, if you’re forced to develop on microsoft 🤬, it’s late, you’re tired, you’re hand slides just a little to the right (win + d), aaaaand everything is gone, and you’re sitting there looking at you’re background wondering what the hell just happened 🙃.
