Why do so many people prefer :wq over :x?
Cause I don't like to think about my x
Because :wq to me means "Issue command write, followed by command quit." "Issue command x" to me means nothing in the context of vim, and ctrl + x on most systems is reserved for cutting, so it just "feels" wrong.
:x
was a gamechanger. And it doesn’t update the file’s modify date if you made no changes.Sometimes I just sit back and think about all that saved time and effort so much that I have actually lost time by switching from
:wq
.why not?
same reason I prefer :wq to ZZ. muscle memory.
There is a other option?
