When you realized you forgot sudo - Lemmy.World

Lazy vim way I do it:

ggVG"wY:q! followed by sudo !! then VG"wp:x

Grab entire file and stuff it in register W

Exit file

Reopen sudo

Select all and replace with register W them write

Now I understand how the Adeptus Mechanicus feel when they perform a ritual power-on.
It’s funny how years of use make that so intuitive but spelled out it’s a garbled mess

Lazier way:

:w !sudo tee %

Yeah learning about tee from this thread honestly.

It’s been interesting realizing I had such a useful tool at my disposal but never knew
