What does :wq stand for in Vim?


Some of Vim's command names are obtuse to me and seem to have multiple aliases. It's easier for me to remember things if I know the reason they are used so...

What does :wq stand for, if anything? Where did ZZ (to do the same thing) come from? Is there a method to this madness?


Solution

  • :wq stands for: Write and Quit
