      I use quake style terminals, and often start writing a file and completely forget about it and turn off the computer, and only remember what i left behind when i find the random recovery files around, so :w a lot is quite useful for me.

          Yes, on classic fps you could spaw a console that will drop down from the top os the screen, some terminal emulators allow you to do that.

          I like it because then i have the terminal always open that i just draw from the top of the screen with a keypress

          On KDE i do that with Yakuake, and on gnome with tilix

        My biggest (mostly) irrational internet pet peeve is the proliferation of people suggesting “:wq” when “:x” is strictly better.
