Not to be pedantic, but it’s not shift+; it’s :, which may be somewhere else depending on your keyboard. For example on (german?) Quertz that’s shift+.
This is true, but since I already used “:” to indicate an upcoming list, I wanted to be deliberately clear that I was referring to the key, and not suggesting another list.
I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I’m talking about?

opening vim is like entering purgatory

Sleeping in a bed of barbed wire feels quite natural to people who are used to sleeping in a bed of barbed wire.
Now you’re getting it! /s

It’s all around.
Exactly. What OP should do is never close vim. You don’t need to close it.
For the longest time I thought that answer was Ctrl-Z
Same here in the beginning I used
Ctrl-zkill %1:q!
You just discarded all of your changes.
