      I miss the days when it was common to use this syntax in messenger apps. Or abbreviated to s/wrong/fixed.

        I’ve worked in a few places that were full of Linux nerds (including my current job). We totally use sed style replacements and joke about vim escape keys (especially the classic :q). So you just need nerdier friends (as in ramped up to 11).

      Technically, that is not vim specific, conning from sed and ed, but definitely worked in vim as well as all vi clones

        This is why it works so well. It’s also one of the reasons I prefer vi over other text editors. It isn’t always the most logical which commands and keys do what, but I like the consistency.
