how to exit vim
@nixCraft you can't exit vim the usual way on that, because : and q are separated now. That said, vim being vim you can still <ESC>ZZ out of it if you got the left half.

@farcaller @nixCraft Methinks the loss of the motherboard is likely to have an impact on the whole concept of Vim running.

Yeah, I never get invited to parties, how do you know?

@ankitpati @nixCraft vim runs on all kinds of hardware, even if it's only half as good. It's a very robust editor.
@farcaller @nixCraft On a QWERTZ keyboard, that would be a close one!
@NK30 @nixCraft yeah, I thought of a bunch of ideas like ^K to type in the codes (the numpad is still there) so you can O into the insert mode, and type quit and yank it still. You cannot @-paste it into the command line (and you can't really leave the insert mode either). It's a bummer. The right half of that notebook is left for emacs.
@farcaller @nixCraft My work Mac doesnt have a physical ESC key  .. I mapped CAPSLOCK to be ESC, though 
@snonux @nixCraft you know, I do miss the touchbar macs. They were surely weird and you had to move the Esc to capslock but the touchbar was fun to use. I'm back to remapping the dictation and search to F13/F14 so I could do some custom things in chrome via BetterTouchTool.
@nixCraft Nah, that's a Laptop with ergonomical keyboard. An early prototype.
@nixCraft The first thing that came to mind, seeing the image was: "split keyboard". 😂
@nixCraft I needed that back in the 90‘s where split screen and playing on the same keyboard was a thing.
@nixCraft I dunno this machine doesn’t look like it’s been banged on a rock yet
@nixCraft no, you just made it worse! they will reform and you'll now have two computers running vim!
@nixCraft @koko the true answer you were looking for
@nixCraft there is an easyer way. stabbing it.

@nixCraft

somehow remembers me how to uninstall mcafee according to john.

@nixCraft talk about going out with a bang!
@nixCraft Image description: a laptop cut in half.
@nixCraft I hope that is now in e waste
@nixCraft finally a laptop with a split ergonomic keyboard!
@nixCraft Yeah, as if *that* will work! *snort*
@nixCraft The joke falls flat with emacs. You don't exit emacs.
@martinvermeer @nixCraft it’s a nice OS, if only it had a good text editor.
@nixCraft @dyfustic This will only split the window vertically (easier done with ^w v).
@nixCraft Seems a bit extreme...

@atoponce @nixCraft

Vim is extreme. Use emacs it is a much more reasonable editor.

@railmeat @atoponce @nixCraft extreme? You spelled “best editor ever” wrong.
@nixCraft OK but how do I exit emacs?
@nixCraft Uncle?! Uncle Tommy?! is that you?

@nixCraft

omg, ctrl-z, ctrl-z 😴

Edit: idk, I use vi 😉

@nixCraft Guaranteed to reduce screen time on this machine!
@nixCraft wait…that’s a cake, right?!
@nixCraft You did a successful "cut". Now just hit "p" for "paste".
@nixCraft also kind of looks like two laptops for the monitors-turned-to-portrait crowd
@nixCraft Is ":q!" not sufficient anymore?
@nixCraft running vim inside a debugger, so you can set a breakpoint
