minus-squareIgnotumlink11•11 months 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-squaremeowlinkfedilink17•11 months 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-squareVictorcakelink8•11 months agoExactly. The colon needs to be just before the w, not at the front of the sequence…

minus-squarei_am_tired_bosslink1•11 months 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.
