Itβs easy.
Escape to exit edit mode
: to prefix a command
q to quit
! to confirm
Now emacs⦠those people are crazy.
I've always preferred vi commands, they make sense and are mostly abbreviations or regex, all the other editors have the strangest commands...
To write and quit in vi :wq
To write and quit in nano: ctrl-o, confirmation dialog about tmp files, ctrl-x, confirmation dialog about exiting... weird feeling that I didn't actually save the file... reopen, okay it saved, ctrl-x, confirmation dialog, weird feeling that I accidently edited the file...

I used emacs when I first started programming because it was what my dad showed me and I always thought it was easier than vim. Then I used a bunch of other things for a while and mostly use vim now and whenever I try to use emacs I am so confused because it makes so much less sense than vim after actually using both
For me vi was my first experience with it.
So yeah, I think itβs often about what youβre used to

Why did you repost my meme?
Uh oh, someone doesnt know the definition of a "meme"
80% of social media is just reposted memes. TF are you talking about...
Just be happy people are enjoying what you've created. It's not like you were being paid for it anyway.
Because it's great! π
Fair enough, to be honest with you I got it from someone a few years back.
what's the license?
No license, its a meme (fair use)
