Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    And the whole time you have nano open it shows you all the shortcuts how to save and close at the bottom, so no, closing nano is not harder.

    Unless you don't know that ^ means Ctrl ๐Ÿฅฒ

    Then you press ctrl+g for help and it tells you:

    Shortcuts are written as follows: Control-key sequences are notated with a '^' and can be entered either by using the Ctrl key or pressing the Esc key twice.

    :D

    Actually TIL about pressing esc twice.

    Why would you press CTRL+G if you didn't know that ^ was CTRL?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

    Look at the screenshot I posted, it actually specifies "ctrl + g" for help.

    I'd argue closing vim is still easier. You just have to hold down the power button long enough.

    I had to look up the upside down V meant Ctrl, which makes sense to me now that I know, but I had to Google that.

    Or you could look on the bar above the shortcuts that explicitly says Ctrl+G = help

    It's called a caret
