How to quit VIM?
How to quit VIM?
First of all. This is not another "how do I exit vim?" shitpost.
I've been using (neo)vim for about two years and I started to notice, that I,m basically unable to use non-vim editors. I do not code a lot, but I write a lot of markown. I'd like to use dedicated tools for this, but their vim emulators are so bad. So I'm now stuck with my customized neovim, devoid of any hope of abandoning this strange addiction.
Any help or advice?

Force yourself to use another editor like Zed, don’t use vim keybinds and get reintegrated into pleb life

80% wow vim is great! I love it!
10% how to exit vimInstall windows XP and start practicing using notepad, after some years ctrl+c and ctrl+v will be second nature.
When you are comfortable with that then install visual studio 6.0 and practice using it, now you are finally ready for VS Code
have you tried :q!
Some editors can embed neovim, for example: vscode-neovim. Not sure how well that works though as I never tried it.
Switch to emacs with evil-mode https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil. You get best of both: nice operating system with build in vim.
As someone who is currently learning emacs, I gotta say, this comment has the energy of someone offering heroin to someone struggling to moderate their cannabis usage (given OP indicated that custom config if a thing they're finding burdensome in a way)
I considered heresy and switching churches, but Lisp and rumours of multiple bugs kept me on the vim side
I always would recommend people to switch to emacs. It is truly a wonderfully transformative experience. But in your case, the question is why do you want to quit using (n)vim?
The only reasonable choice!
Need more info.
The answer will still and always be, just use nvim.
What features do these dedicated tools have that make you want to use something other than nvim?
First thing is decent tables editor and the second is katex previewer.
Something like vim-table-mode work as an improvement? You got me there though, tables can be a real pain in a terminal.
For the second, I setup an on save hook or watch script to build a PDF and open it. Its been a minute, but I think I had to find a PDF viewer that would refresh if already open and keep the current position on subsequent opens.
Best of luck finding something that works for you!

Didn't bother reading the whole post
Hit Shift ZZ to save and quit
Open another terminal. Killall vim.
Use pkill, not killall.
