You can :wq in vim with :x

I have developed quite some muscle memory in terminating vim via :wqa. Now I can save one more character by retraining myself to use :xa! 😄

I also like how :x sort of symbolizes the close button ❌ of many window managers and their default behavior of saving when you close a file.

For more documentation open vim and type :h :x.

Wait, now that you mention it …

Well, turns out the documentation mentions an even easier way: Just press ZZ (without the colon) 😴

Now if only I could combine this to perform :wqa

Happy vim-ing! 👋
