				Those who really use vim would never bother to move their hands so much to touch that damn thing. :q! FTW

				 brettski4947y@ScriptCoded that would be a much better use of the Touch Bar, a help bar! Show the most common commands on it. brettski4947y@ScriptCoded that would be a much better use of the Touch Bar, a help bar! Show the most common commands on it.

				I sometimes wonder why the vim default theme is such shit though.
 I understand vi has to be small, but vim or neovim could have better colors. Of course we can theme it, but still.

 Honestly I’ve never experienced a version of vim where ctrl + c don’t work, so I’d rather train my hand to make the same shortcut whether my keyboard layout is DK or UK, or anything else
