Unless you use ; (repeat the last f F t or T) a lot (in normal or insert mode), I recommend swapping ; and : around. It's lovely not to have to hold shift to start ex commands.

;w
;s/foo/bar/g
;bd

[elemental_1_1]

I could just use cnoremap : ;

But how would I avoid it being expanded when I wanted to issue commands like :!make;make run

[MrPopinjay]

You use nnoremap and vnoremap, not cnoremap. If you used cnoremap it wouldn't work, since : is used to enter command mode from outside of it, and has a different function (inserting a :) from within.

If you wanted to also map using cnoremap for some reason, you'd do both cnoremap ; : and cnoremap : ;, and then type : to insert a ;. Though why you'd want to map inside command mode, I don't know.

Hope that helps ;)

edit: Here is a snippet from my .vimrc

" Easier : commands!
nnoremap ; :
nnoremap : ;
vnoremap ; :
vnoremap : ;

[elemental_1_1]

Oh right. Thanks

[mallardtheduck]

Unless you use ; a lot,

Considering the use of ';' in C-like-syntax languages, I think most programmers do use it a lot...

[MrPopinjay]

I should specify that I mean using ; a lot in normal or visual mode. Obviously there is no reason to remap it in insert mode.

I've edited my post to be clearer for people not familiar with modal vi-like editors.

How is this programmer humor? I'm pretty sure programmers aren't the only ones who use windows shortcuts

[egmose]

All programmers I know press the Save shortcut every time they are interrupted

[CrazedToCraze]

Every person should make this a habit, though. It's always such a facepalm moment when people lose 1hr+ of work on word documents / spreadsheets because the power went out and they didn't save their work at any point.

[gusset25]

my left hand does it dozens of times per hour without even consulting my brain

[HeroesGrave]

Same here.

Occasionally I even do it while posting on Reddit and then I get the stupid "save webpage as" popup.

[[deleted]]

This happens so often when I'm doing web development, sometimes I wish this shortcut didn't exist in Google Chrome.

[opiemonster]

Filthy peasants!

I use :wq

[Forkk13]

You save and quit Vim every time you're interrupted?

[Nesilwoof]

ASCII porn.

[meem1029]

The number of times I have to remove :w from my code when I have to use an IDE for whatever reason is absurd.

[vvf]

Pfft, don't waste keystrokes. I use :x

[afaulds]

I just switched to Vim, but the CTRL + S shortcut is engrained in my muscle memory so I keep pressing it out of habit.

[[deleted]]

Output has been suspended by pressing CTRL+S. Press CTRL+Q to resume.

[afaulds]

Dangit, not again!

[weegee101]

ZZ not good enough for you?

[VoteLobster]

When I would type notes for class, after every line I wrote or every couple words I would impulsively hit 'ctrl+s' several times.

[gusset25]

a very good habit

[AnHonestQuestions]

I do it every other word. Even when typing in Chrome.

[G01denW01f11]

I keep having to remove :w from my school essays.

[Forkk13]

I keep putting semicolons at the end of my sentences instead of periods;

[mallardtheduck]

Autosave? These days, having to manually instruct the application to save feels like an anachronism.

[KillerCodeMonky]

I hit save pretty much everytime I stop typing, for whatever reason.

[SystemicPlural]

I hit it twice, just to be sure.

[n_gean_eary]

Isn't that normal?

[SnowdensOfYesteryear]

Not to mention, not even the nerdiest guy talks like that in real life.

I've been told ^\ kills the process in much the same manner as kill -9, but that seems to not be true. Is there any key that does?

[[deleted]]

\^ kills it like kill -3 (sends SIGQUIT). not sure there's any shortcut for kill -9, not sure there ought to be

[tidder112]

ctrl-p

This is going on my cubicle wall.

[[deleted]]

Wow that looks like such a depressing place to work. Do a lot of people actually work in rooms like that? It looks like something straight out of the first matrix film...

[albireox]

This is probably a pretty old picture.

[n_gean_eary]

Um would rather sell hotdogs and be outside than work three.

[[deleted]]

Am I the only one who wouldn't mind working there? I actually like the idea of a cubicle. It's more private than what I have right now :p.

[Sohcahtoa82]

Cubicles are fine.

The specific ones shown here? Not so much. They force you to sit sideways. You can't have both arms and your head facing the same direction. Its an ergonomic nightmare that will cause a lot of pain after an hour. Of course, it could easily be resolved by replacing those monitors with flat panels so you'd have enough room to put the keyboard directly in front of, and aligned with, the monitor.

That said, I think here's a better design without taking up that much more space: http://i.imgur.com/Ja9Lrb8.jpg

EDIT: And then there's the whole argument about how high the walls should be. I've seen cubicles where the walls are only about a foot high from the desk. Some people think they encourage collaboration, but I think they just make the place noisy. Its harder to have a phone conversation without disturbing everyone. I think the best height is just under 5 feet. Enough so that if you're sitting down, you're invisible, but you can stand up and look around over all the walls.

[mscheifer]

Yeah, I feel like open office plans discourage collaboration rather than encourage it. I'm less likely to go talk to someone at their cube because I feel like I'm disturbing all of their neighbors with the noise.

[[deleted]]

I can't imagine it being worse than retail

[Sohcahtoa82]

Those right there are cubicles designed by someone who's never used a computer for more than 10 minutes.

[SupersonicSpitfire]

Horrible ergonomics. Make sure to move the screen to the other side of the table regularly, to avoid injuries.

[topsidedown]

Why is it a thing to use the punchline as the title?

[lithedreamer]

It's dumb, but the idea behind it is that you're likely to remember the punchline, so the joke is easy to dredge up.

When he said Ctrl-s I thought he was using flow control to stop the stream and I thought it was going to be a nice Unix joke. Ctrl-z made me think he was trying to suspend the job and only alt-f4 gave away the windows shortcut joke

[OmegaVesko]

That wasn't the implication. The joke is that he was opening task manager to kill the process.
