One of the first things I configure on any new system is an alias for vi to invoke vim.

I would imagine his family knows his direct impact at least somewhat but I wonder if they know how many lives have been changed by what was written with the tools Bram gave us. This one really unexpectedly hit me as aside from using vim, I’ve had zero interaction with Bram. But vim is such a big part of my life that I found myself tearing up a bit even though I was in the gym when I saw the news.

He was one of the greats. His software touched so many lives: not only those who edited text, but especially everyone he helped in Uganda. RIP, ZZ

We all swear to honour you by removing pico / nano from all systems everywhere.

In this case :wq does not sound right.

I would go with :q! (or :qa!)

Because death always fucks up all your plans.

Celediel ,

I like to think of it as, his history and legacy being written to for the final time, the file being closed.

ZZ. You will be missed Bram, but your legacy will live on.

Especially No. 8

It could be that we have transitioned into the unforeseeable future.

Celediel ,

It most certainly feels that way, in more ways than one.

Looks like I picked a good time to learn emacs (with evil mode)
