When I first got into BSD (way before Linux) I found man pages useful... but no way to leave them. Not even man man won't tell you how to exit a man page!

So I would tinker, eventually needing a man page, reading what I needed -- and then hard power cycle the machine. -_-

I was pretty good with computers, but that was a humbling experience. You just don't know what you don't know, and if you can't ask... sometimes you just get stuck. Just like in KQ, LSL, SQ, ... The Internet is (was) a blessing.

That explains the many vim enthusiasts that don't want any other editor. They simply can't exit the vim instance they once accidentally opened...

You just reboot. Right?

What if my PC boots straight into Vim? It's not like I need anything else, can do everything in Vim

Isn't it? I can't decide whether I believe this is an easter egg

What a weird way to spell nano

This is how we vim😏

Are you sure? It looks like this is going "Hey, I can't get the front door open to the house, so I called the cops and told them I was being held hostage so they would break down the door with a battering ram."

How long is it before CoPilot can't exit vim and just deletes vim as the solution?

If it’s a read only file it won’t work, but it might be in insert mode and can’t escape.

It should have tried :q!
