    Kudos for reading all those docs and sharing some nuggets.

    Does anyone else feel vim clumsy like the author? I'm trying to understand how one could accidentally lowercase a whole buffer, or trigger scary messages or open unrecognized menus. Not condescending, just curious. I find the q: thing relatable, but not the rest.

      If you're at the top of the buffer, guG will lowercase the whole thing.

      So if you open a file, go to type G to jump to a line, but accidentally hit g, then try to undo it with u out of habit, before hitting G again, you do the same thing.

      Uh to be perfectly honest for the past … 30 years I’ve ran with a buddies vimrc and really never took the time to understand it; it was perfectly good lol and to this day I could not recreate it if I lost it.

      > lowercase a whole buffer,

      Happens a lot to me actually!

      That and accidentally incrementing a numeric value haha..
