I just learned the basics of vim in the last year, used VS Code exclusively before. Now I'm writing something in Code for a change again and my brain is loading ":w-enter" instead of "ctrl-s".

@Alex_Linder @Marko Vim is a Linux text editor usually used by programmers. Made to not require a mouse, keyboard only& faster. VisualStudio Code is Microsoft's editor for programmers. Vim is notorious as being hard to use, even exiting requires pressing a bunch of key combos exiting you press esc on keyboard to enter 'command mode' then :wq to write (save) then quit. It's overly complex, but adv users can be 100x more efficient/faster than someone using a graphical editor with mouse w/ VScode.

@Varg @Alex_Linder @Marko ZZ saves and quits, ZQ just quits. Not any more complex than ctrl-q
