     @catsalad Never pull on the cord, only the plug body. It's the safe way to unplug Vim.

     It’s easy to criticize, but there’s a reason this mistake is so common: Vim has separate “cable” and “plug” modes, governed by a hidden key binding, and if you’re in the wrong mode then :wq pulls the cable.

     @inthehands @profdc9 @catsalad little known fact, the "wq" there stands for "wall quit".

     @inthehands @catsalad I did not know this. I guess that's why I keep getting shocked when using Vim.

     Fortunately its fatal electrocutions are highly configurable and customizable. This is the Vim advantage!

     One really cool thing Vim can do that other text editors can’t is to easily remove all the walls so that the ceiling falls on you. Surprisingly useful!
