Slartboz; vim & Bram Moolenaar

This weekend I was recording a screencast demo of my game Slartboz:

It lasted about 7 minutes. By the end I might have been a little frazzled.  

Anyway, once I finished what I had to say and show to the world, I did the obvious thing which was to hit the keystroke sequences to end the recording.  

I bumbled it a bit. Either I typed it but it ignored me, or, I typed the wrong sequence because I misrembered in the heat of the moment, due to being frazzled by demo's end.  

Eventually I hit upon the magic sequence.  

But it would have been so much more natural if they had let it be:  

ESC:wq!  

RIP Mr. Moolenaar 

thank you for your work, sir, and the wonderful tool you provided the world for so long
