For me, my Ctrl+S moment was with Apple's Writer, on my first Macbook back in 2005 or so. Lost a whole evening's worth of work due to a crash.

I'm mostly in the `:w` camp now, but still...




<Esc>:w is muscle memory by now, and it'll never change.


A quirk in my config that I haven't bothered to fix makes it so my formatter runs post write. I've unfortunately picked up the habit of <esc>:w<cr>:w<cr> in rapid succession.


Oof, my condolences. At least you make doubly sure it's saved.
