Hello John, I am a long-time user of vi so I know about ZZ Sometimes I need to open files in view to search for this and that. >From there the only exit is quit and I was looking for a faster way to do that >than :q!.
On my old keyboard it was a single character, the key so far on the right that I never hit it accidentally. I like my new keyboard (diNovo Edge for Mac), but its function keys are not programmable, hence my interest in abbrevs. Anyway, what is ZQ doing?
