@occhiolist @dolari Or :x for short. You know, if :wq is too long to type and you want something a little more terse.

@irvingpop @spottyfox @socketwench - Actually, this would be a good time to ask. What are the resons for using Vi and Vim over Nano?
Originally, I only used Linux at my university and at an ISP I worked at for a short time. I used Vi in my university days but quickly moved over to Pico for ease of use.
I know when I worked at an ISP, they wanted me back on Vi, because Pico had a security flaw in it, which I did.
I've since moved permanently to Linux around ten years ago, and really haven't had anything that NEEDED Vi or Vim (outside of visudo when I was running Arch), so what's the major difference other than ease of use? I'm sure there are reasons to use it but because I don't write scripts or program, Nano is enough for me.
Not being adversarial, just genuinely curious. :)
@dolari @Flux @occhiolist @irvingpop @spottyfox @socketwench nano is for when you need to change a single line in a config. Vim is a fully featured code editor.
People aren't using vim as a nano alternative, but as a vs code alternative.
@hjvt @Flux @occhiolist@hachyderm.io @irvingpop @spottyfox @socketwench - that makes sense. I don't do any coding myself, so I've never needed it. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
