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.

Can't confidently say the prior comment was confused bc of this, but somehow the distributor in my country chose the title as "Contact".

Weird choice imo, especially when there had been already a great movie with the name.

Mmm, I hadn't even considered the possibility. The stupid things that go on with translating titles is crazy :-)
