@systemd@wetdry.world you use ctrl not :

@systemd@wetdry.world Just give up on your keyboard and unplug your computer.

@systemd try :q!

@systemd wq!

@systemd :wq!!!!!!1!11DAMMIT

@systemd I know it's a shitpost, but nano literally showing you at the bottom of the screen what its important commands are is one of the reasons I like it so much better :p

@systemd you aren’t hitting esc! that’s probably the issue!

@systemd ‘how to exit vim’ more like ‘how to exit nano’

@systemd 😂 Sorry I haven't see it was nano editor... It's a joke ? If not
Ctlrl + O
Enter
Ctlr + X

@systemd i think youre supposed to write :q!

@systemd why are you typing :wq when it says right there you should be typing ^O^X ^/s

@systemd makes sense. CTRL+X bro.

@systemd pkill nano

@systemd I respect this toot.

@systemd :wq users when the :x user enters the room

@systemd shut pc off that should get you out of it

@systemd Try swapping caps lock and ctrl.

@systemd
answer is simple:

use tilde + dot to close the ssh session

@systemd

Easy: C-x M-c C-M-ESC

@systemd nii-san, help :blobpeek:

@systemd@wetdry.world click on Exit it has mouse support ​:satrithink:​

@systemd hahahahahbaha

@systemd@wetdry.world Yep. Been there ​:neocat_laugh_sweat:​

@systemd emacs has a macro to exit nano.

@systemd you may want to listen to this playlist too, then.

@systemd press

@systemd it's kill -9 time

@systemd there’s no ESCape

@systemd@wetdry.world people who unironically use nano as a daily driver editor scare me

- posted by Mia

@systemd@wetdry.world ESC Shift+; w q RET

@systemd

i think it's just "." for this one, not sure.

@systemd type :help to open the documentation

@systemd CTRL+X, Y, ZZY, ENTER

@systemd @ellesaurus What’s the problem? Just do what all other reasonable persons in this situation did and buy a new computer.

@systemd try Alt F4

@systemd 😂

@systemd Ctrl+x is easy to remember, or at least better then the vi vim commands to me. 🥹

@systemd I do it by habit in nearly every other editor. I'm not kidding.

@systemd There is no escape.

@systemd @AndrewRadev can you help???

@systemd the classic vim exit: Ctrl+z & kill

@systemd@wetdry.world It's easy. Press Ctrl+T, type
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger, and press enter

@systemd

@systemd just remember it could be worse, you could be stuck in vi.

@systemd ha! The number of work emails I send that end with
"Thanks,
Derry:wq
"

@systemd In the emacs vs. vim wars, nano is my editor of choice. I'm probably showing my colours as an absolute novice in stating this but it just works for me and has for about the last twenty years, so I'm quite content with using what I can understand and doesn't actively oppose me.

@systemd
Don't use user-unfriendly software like nano.

Stay with well-proven UX champions like vi.

@systemd
Try

:q!

@systemd immediately goes viral

@systemd xD

@systemd

^Z
$ killall nano

:D

@systemd The important thing is to save your work with Ctrl+S

@systemd have you tried turning it off and on again?

@systemd is there a VI joke in there trying to get out?

Somewhere (not on this device) I've got a screenshot od Word.something (When they foist that "ribbon" thing on users.) with enough toolbars turned on to earn the title "EDLIN".
Which I *have* used, on a Teletype.

@systemd and very persistent

@systemd "Stop-A" should do it.

@systemd power off, power on

@systemd lols and no making a joke about won't stop I continuing to do this for years to come
