Hi, This may sound like a real newbie question, but when I do the "set -o vi" in the bash command line shell, if I hit <Esc> and v on the command line, it goes into vi editing mode. This is kind of cool, as I can exercise the full editing power of vi, and when I exit the editor it runs the command. Unfortunately, sometimes I may have a really powerful/dangerous/unnecessary command that I've typed, and all I want to do is just cancel, not execute the command. How do I do this? :q! doesn't seem to work, as the command still runs. :wq , well, I don't want to save anything, I just want to get out of the editor and return to the plain old bash prompt. Is this possible? Of course I can always kill the terminal that I'm running in to avoid running the command as soon as vi exits. Or I can try to press ctrl+C as fast as possible. I was hoping for a better alternative.
Please help. Thanks, Ven -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to. For more information, visit http://www.vim.org/maillist.php
