    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.

      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.
