They just said :wq in school, so thanks for the tip. Hard to believe it saves even when the file hasn’t been changed if you use :wq. What is the use case for that? If the file gets changed in another program and you want to revert??
Edit: Just saw the comment about the modification times being updated.
Heh yeah and it’s not like it makes any difference; they’re effectively the same thing. :wq just updates modification time even if there were no changes – same as doing :w and :q separately – but :x doesn’t. Super intuitive interface 😅

And how often do you want to do that exactly?
Then you use
:wq:x? Real Programmers useZZ.habit lol. i use :w a lot so :wq feels like a natural extension
