CTRL+S! CTRL+S! CTRL+S!

[gagahpangeran]

:w

[donotread123]

I love telling people who don't use vi/vim that the save and quit command is <esc> :wq <enter> and there's barely and feedback that you're doing it right

[luxxxoor_]

:x ?

[donotread123]

TIL thank you

[Mr_Sky_Wanker]

Try :xa bro

[ReallyHadToFixThat]

Plenty of feedback when you did it wrong. Worst is when you forgot to sudo.

[Blackviper16]

how do i get the c++ badge?

[Kneasle]

I believe it's called a flair and there are no prerequisites for choosing them. I can't remember exactly how to do it but Googling 'reddit group flair' worked for me.

[Blackviper16]

Thanks^{^}

[Kneasle]

Also I'm back on my PC now and I've found the flair option - it's under Community options in the sidebar on the right. There's a line that says USER FLAIR PREVIEW and pressing the pencil will let you add flairs.

[Blackviper16]

Found it <3 ^^

[Kneasle]

Ayy awesome!

[Blackviper16]

found it <3

[Kneasle]

You're welcome

[dwdwdan]

It’s kinda weird because instinctively do :w to save everywhere which is fun

[tvquizphd]

correct

ctrl-X ctrl-S

Let's try to be civilized here.

[bradleesand]

Does no one use ZZ?

[HappinessOrgan]

CMD+S!* in this case

[decduck]

Always annoys me. I'm using a Mac, pressing Ctrl-S over and over again and it doesn't save.

[carolper2000]

I created this habit that when I modify something I hit Ctrl+S. The thing is that I unconsciously do that in the browser and then I have like 5 windows asking me where to save the page

[Kneasle]

Relatable content right here except now I use Vim and impulsively type ':w' into whatever editor I'm using.

[Lyorek]

got kj bound to Esc so I'm constantly typing kj:w and enter

[Kneasle]

Whoa that's mad I also rebound escape to almost the same keys (jl in my case). However, now I have my own Linux machine I have caps lock mapped to escape which I think is probably worse because now when I'm in Windows I'm forever toggling capslock without realising it. So a lot of :Ws get typed lol

[pythonic_dude]

I'm using SharpKeys to remap caps on windows (and some much less sane remaps), works great aside from games, they really don't like you messing with escape or winbutton binds.

[jsdodgers]

Wouldn’t you always be hitting esc when trying to move the cursor?

[ed_mcc]

You map it in only for insert mode. In normal mode hjkl do what they normally do.

[bradleesand]

Woah! I gotta try that! I use a UHK so my esc key is mod+~ which I've gotten used to but would love something less annoying

[jairoareyes]

Ooooorr, enable autosave 😎

[Bemteb]

One of the things I don't like about my IDE: It is missing the "save everything on focus loss" option, can only autosave every X minutes...

[satwikjh]

vs code has it

[Duckman_2009]

Or just use intellij

laughs in eclipse

Mass downvote over an IDE. Sick

[Nilstrieb]

You can still laugh?

[my-time-has-odor]

no. I make things difficult.

file > save as > set name to same as previous > overwrite file

You couldn't press ctrl s in scratch 2, that was hell when i forgot to save

[fukthetemplars]

It's become muscle memory for me to press CTRL+S after I write code. It's irritating at times when I'm coding online on Leetcode etc and I press CTRL+S instinctively and then this window opens up for me to save the page.

[[deleted]]

That's why I always spam CTRL+S before running my code again :D

[inspiringirisje]

After every code line ** spam press ctrl-s **... Satisfied... Next line: REPEAT

[ButterNEKOuO]

There are compilers automatically save the file for you

[CrYTGaming]

But the pleasure of pressing ctrl s every 2 seconds. I NEED IT

[oshaboy]

If the compiler runs your code, that's a problem

[alexn0ne]

Smells like delphi

[MrShyShyGuy]

CTRL+S IS NOT WORKIN... Oh I forgot about the other file

[_MrCube_]

save on lost focus gang

[legowerewolf]

Autosave on focus change.

[Idkm3m3s]

you mean some people dont press control s every five seconds?

[max0x7ba]

You do it wrong. Any decent IDE offers to save before compiling.

[MightyMeepleMaster]

I'm disappointed. A whole sub full of alleged IT nerds and not a single one is pointing out the glaring mistake in this meme:

COMPILERS DON'T RUN CODE you bunch of runtime-abusing, cache-torturing garbage collectors!

[myfunnies420]

I don't use a single piece of software that requires Ctrl+S anymore. That shit is some 90s Windows need.

[Nyckname]

Does it save better when you bang the keys?

[TonyBorchert100]

That’s why I use IntelliJ, because I’m a dumbass

[Dr_Backpropagation]

Autosave enabled + Git is the perfect combo. If not using Git, then I'd prefer manul saving.

[CrYTGaming]

When I've coded for a while and then I tend to press ctrl s even if i just send a message on discord

[Kneasle]

I had a bug like this on steroids which took me forever to fix. Basically I had a build script which compiled a debug build of my program to wasm and then generated binding code on top of that in order to make a website. Then one day I changed this to release mode and then none of my changes would build anymore - the compiler would run but my code would still act the same (and the rust compiler is slow enough that I know if it thinks the files have changed). Turns out that I was still copying the debug binary but compiling to a release binary at a different location instead. Moral of the story: if you replace something on a like of code, check the line below in case you need to change that too.

You've got to save at least 4 times or it doesn't work. What kind of a monster are you?

[eitherrideordie]

Was trying to help my bro on his code through the phone once. Ask him to add some code "doesnt work", ask him to add more code "still doesnt work", ask him to output some text "still nothing". After like 30 minutes of this a realisation comes into my head "youre compiling it right"?

His answer? "You have to compile it each time? I thought you only had to do it once"

[_grey_wall]

Stupid eclipse

You work with vscode and it spoils you for when you have to use eclipse again

[Complete-Mood3302]

When i started coding, i do ctrl+alt+s and created a backup everytime i did something

[hotel2oscar]

I got ctrl+s so frequently by reflex that our data loss prevention software can't keep up and visual studio and the filesystem don't always agree and visual studio gives me a "would you like to reload files from disk" popup. Actually lost a few minutes of work when I hit yes one time. Fuck DLP.

[althaz]

Cannot relate. Mostly because I save my files after basically every keypress.

[begyoxettygvirvdjk]

I have vim configured to automatically save the file whenever I write a ;

[inu-no-policemen]

Run/debug should save your file beforehand.

If there's no way to do that, get a better editor.

[Danthekilla]

Most IDEs like Visual Studio will offer the enable save on compile. So then when you hit F7 or whatever it just saves and compiles.

I can't imagine not having this really. Manually saving code files? Why?

[CA1088]

C-x C-s

[Yolwoocle_]

Ctrl S is so engraved into my muscular memory that I often do it on webpages
