I use quake style terminals, and often start writing a file and completely forget about it and turn off the computer, and only remember what i left behind when i find the random recovery files around, so :w a lot is quite useful for me.
Is there any reason to use :w other than it being the default? I have mine mapped to CTRL-S and it makes sure to keep me in insert mode if I was in insert mode. Feels way faster and easier to spam than the 4 key presses it takes to execute “:w”.

Average day in (neo)vim
You can use :wq only once
So choose wisely. All other editor instances must remain open forever.

Quake? The FPS? I’m confused, though I knew a little about Linux
Yes, on classic fps you could spaw a console that will drop down from the top os the screen, some terminal emulators allow you to do that.
I like it because then i have the terminal always open that i just draw from the top of the screen with a keypress
On KDE i do that with Yakuake, and on gnome with tilix
You can also use Guake on GNOME or basically on any desktop. I’ve also use it on Cinnamon and it’s really nice.

*per open file
:w before ZZ just to make sure

I’m just used to it and I’m keeping ny time in instert mode at minimum.
Make all changes
:wq!
Force that bitch!
This will allow you to ctrl+s to save. I tried to add this in a backtick code line/block but it removes part of the syntax.
Sorry but I’m already used to :w stoo much and a lot faster with it than ctrl+s

Requires me to use my pibky for ctrl. I have esc remaped to caps so its faster for ke to just do :w
