One can only blindly stumble into them. Or, since we're missing it: I'm not trying to start a flame-war here, just looking for reasoned insight into the following problem: I routinely use both vim and emacs. I use vim for most of my basic text editing (config files and the like) and I use emacs for coding and for email writing. My problem is that I can't break myself of the habit of typing :wq at the end of an emacs session. Clearly emacs is broken in this way, how should I fix it? There, maybe that'll work. A :wq
