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-squareVictorlink8•11 months agoExactly. The colon needs to be just before the w, not at the front of the sequence…
