He'll be forever reminded of that .swp file from the time he forgot how to exit. Maybe that will motivate him.

Yes. That is what I got when I tested it on cygwin on windows. This works though:

CRTL-Z
$ bg
$ kill $!

Not sure if '$!' is bash specific. I don't think so. In the end I was just trying to be funny. Also, when I first learned vi in the mid 80s I think I may have CTRL-Zd my way out more than once when I had no idea what was going on.

I have the weirdest mental block with this.
I forget constantly how to do it.

Not "how to exit vim", more like "how to accomplish nothing with vim".

Contact memes yay, what a great movie. The sci-fi portion is silly, but who cares it's sci-fi.

I think this is from Arrival, not Contact.

Arrival is the movie version of Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang. It's a great novella. Chiang is a short story master.
