For little-used functionality where you might need to "stop and think", agreed, but virtually *every* time you edit a file, you need to save it, so... Hell, most apps would use <alt><f><x></alt> to exit, prompting you to save or not, or somesuch, and you would rarely have to "figure out" how to save/exit. If you know that ^S is a shortcut to save, etc., you can easily adapt and use what's shorter, even if it's not part of an orthogonal command-set. Hence, 'ZZ'. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
