Yes! I want a car interface designed by whoever is responsible for vim.


When I read your comment, I immediately thought of a car which you exit by removing the floor plating, after which the car lifts itself up, so you can comfortably step away from the underside. Can't wait to see my grandma try that!


Oh hey, this reminds me of a car I saw. Thankfully did not have to ride it. The floor on passenger side was missing and it was a bit lifted , so you could get out the car that way. Was handy because sometimes the door lock got jammed and refused to work. Same goes for the meatgrinder-style window controls.

Other than that - it worked and somehow had all the needed papers to be street-legal.


It's all fun until someone else tries to quit your car.


"Sir, can you please explain what you were doing when the accident occurred?"


"I just thought I was in INSERT mode"


I accidentally had caps lock on, sorry.


Impossible, caps lock should be mapped to ESC


Isn't this what Tesla's electronic door handle is all about while the car burns?


What do you mean someone else? What about me!

Alternatively, what do you mean, quit?


Its a joke, because vim is so difficult to exit from.


wooosh!


Like Hotel California


So only professional drivers can turn off their cars? :-)
