Im about to take the same plunge into Linux. Any tips for a new comer?
If you accidentally open 'vi', an escape sequence is ':wq'
You can also type
:x
to write and quit. Just imaging the amount of time saved not pressing one extra letter. ^Could save your life.^You can also type
ZZ
(uppercase, so hold Shift) to write and quit. But for all of the above you have to be in normal mode, so if it doesn't work, try pressingEsc
first.
