How to exit from "vim -y" in console?
I use the gVim Easy, and it works for me to add the set im!
in the .gvimrc
.
gVim Easy v.s. gVim
With -y
(easy mode), Vim defaults to insert mode, and you cannot permanently exit to normal mode via <Esc>
. However, like in default Vim, you can issue a single normal mode command via <C-O>
. So to exit, type <C-O>:q!<CR>
.
Alternatively, there's a special <C-L>
mapping for easy mode that returns to normal mode.
-y
option makes vim start in easy mode, you can type CTRL-L to return to normal mode and then type :q! to exit.
