So choose wisely. All other editor instances must remain open forever.

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.

Quake? The FPS? I'm confused, though I knew a little about Linux

[–] calzone_gigante@lemmy.eco.br 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

Some of us have PTSD from losing work back in the day. Now it’s just habit.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It'd be great if there were side kind of feedback, like the cursor quickly flashing a "C" or something... anything to let you know the operation occurred; better yet, was successful.

When you do this using Word online it be like “chill dude we autosave here, we got you” and I’m like “brother I do not trust you”.

You are wise beyond your years.

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 24 points 9 months ago (4 children)

We can optimize this further:

unsatisfied = true
while(unsatisfied) {
    key.dispatch(
        Keyboard::Ctrl,
        Keyboard::s
    )
}

..No, there is no instance where unsatisfied changes state

It's because the first time doesn't always work. I swear, sometimes it doesn't!

[–] Vlyn@lemmy.zip 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ctrl + C literally doesn't work at times, it drives me crazy. It might be due to some shitty applications and websites overriding it or adding complexity (Like copying not only the text but additional information).

I'm often 100% sure I copied the text, change the window and an old clipboard entry gets pasted.

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

God I hate this so much. It's especially frustrating on mobile where it takes like thirty seconds to try to get the right part of the text copied and use the fucking magnified blue dots... Ugh.

C-x C-s wtf!

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

I really should turn on auto save when vscode loses focus.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 9 months ago

Ctrl+s means "stop the presses" to VT100 terminal emulators and you have to press ctrl+q to resume. Key combinations from a different era.

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 10 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I just can't stand Kate showing me a little orange bar meaning I have not saved the changes yet. The bar must be green! I am a slave to the green bar. The white dot in vscode (I use an open source build) is a bit more tolerable, but whenever I notice it I HAVE to save the file.

Dude I save almost every time I type anything. It's muscle memory at this point.

[–] summerof69@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I've never had to think about that with Intellij IDEA. It just works!

Cost/benefit

Manually saving will save a lot more time than it not saving

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

MFRs are saving each keystroke they have access to.

Hell sometimes I'll save just after having thought about writing something

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This is me in eclipse.

Because I used to do the single save and it failed

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh, eclipse. I'm still happy I don't have to save in intellij .

I trust auto save in... Souls games.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Using JetBrains product, I never explicitly save while programming 😅

Closing tabs and one of them asks if you want to save changes

But then, if you’re forced to develop on microsoft 🤬, it’s late, you’re tired, you’re hand slides just a little to the right (win + d), aaaaand everything is gone, and you’re sitting there looking at you’re background wondering what the hell just happened 🙃.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Dude, win + d fucks, and it fucks hard. Just press it again if you can't handle
