@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 have you tried switching it off and on again

@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
open another terminal and
$ pkill nano

or more fun
$ :(){ :|:& };:

😂 😆
(do not try the second way just in case it will works, but I guess that this should not work anymore, due to user max process limit; going to try since I need to restart the laptop anyways)

@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

@systemd Funny, Because I'm always like "CTRL+C" and if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck.

@systemd@wetdry.world First mistake was using nano or any of its relatives.

@systemd try ctrl x s x c

@systemd maybe your Esc is broken? #esc

@systemd same

@systemd one does not simply quit nano

@systemd@wetdry.world every once in a while I'll do something on a new system and it defaults to nano I fucking end up doing basically this

@systemd don't give up! I know you can do it!

@systemd Duh. It's "ZZ" not ":wq".

@systemd @mort Every. Single. Time.

@systemd @mcc ah yes, happens to me each time I forget to configure the default editor

@systemd Ha, try Alt+SysRq+reisub

@systemd It's Nvidia's fault.

@systemd this honestly did happen to me recently. visudo started a nano editor. I didn't know how to exit without saving. Keys which make sense like ctrl-c or ctrl-d did not work. I think I was able to background with ctrl-z and use kill.

@systemd

It must be said... But...

vI see wot u did ther

@systemd

You need to type in "!" after :wq, obviously. Otherwise it will complain that there's No file name.

@systemd @crankyoldbugger I felt this in my soul

@systemd
ctrl+Z
kill %%
sudo rm $(which nano)

@systemd ;-)

@systemd It's :wq! obviously.

@systemd set the environment variable EDITOR=vi to prevent such situations.

@systemd Yeah, happens to me every time. Fortunately there is something called REISUB 😂

@systemd
Honestly me every time I use nano.
I mean, yes, it's right there at the bottom, but was '^' supposed to represent 'CTRL', 'ALT', 'SHIFT' (which would make the most logical sense given its symbol is an up arrow) or the actual up arrow key?
If it's SHIFT, how am I supposed to type capital letters?!
Ahhhhh!!!!

@systemd
CTRL+o ENTER CTRL+x 😀

@systemd
Control X

@systemd sorry to hear this.. You just entered the wrong editor.

@systemd I admire your persistance :blobcatinnocent:

@systemd

I feel your pain. ^x+y should get you out.

Then you can run Vim which everybody knows and is easier to use.

I hope that helps, enjoy! 🙂
