     @nixCraft can you also click X with your mouse to quit Vim now? That would help people who are stuck in Vim and who cannot figure out how to close it 😂

     @nixCraft each their own, but a good day behind a computer to actually get some stuff done, usually involves as little mouse interaction as possible. Keyboard shortcuts to launch a few terminals, keyboard shortcuts to grid-position them on the desktop, keyboard shortcuts to switch to some other virtual desktops with some other programs (guess what, all of those programs have keyboard shortcuts as well!). Happy keyboard days!

     @nixCraft I use Vim because I hate having to move my hand to the mouse.
