minus-squareIgnotumlink11•1 year agoI use Vim daily, and i have absolutely no clue what that command would do, what would it do? Delete the document, save and quit?
minus-square@filiberto_kunstlingerlink15•edit-21 year agoexactly. gg -> go to top of document d -> delete (actually, it’s cut, but it destroys the mnemonic) G -> here is a modifier to “d” and tells it do “delete until end of document” w -> write current state of buffer to disk q -> exit program
minus-squaremeowlinkfedilink17•1 year agoActually not, binds and commands aren’t the same. ggdG only works as a series of inputs, while wq only works as a command (with the colon).
minus-squareVictorlink8•1 year agoExactly. The colon needs to be just before the w, not at the front of the sequence…

minus-squarei_am_tired_bosslink1•1 year agoggdGZZ This actually does what you intend to do. On nvim atleast.
:ggdGwq (please don’t do this)
VIM Golf… Same outcome, fewer strokes:
%d|wq
you can replace wq with x
:%d|x
Only in Vim, not in Vi.
