I'm hoping someone can help me with this.

I was holding my laptop while I had a vile open in vim, and I slipped, mashing a bunch of keys on the keyboard by mistake.

After doing this, I can't type the ~ character anymore. Anytime I try to type it, it jumps the text to the last line, putting the last line at the top of the editing screen so that's the only line of text showing.

I thought maybe I had set an option that would show up in ~/.vimrc, but there's no ~/.vimrc file. There is a /etc/vimrc file, and a ~/.viminfo file.

I've searched and had no luck finding out what I did to cause this behavior. I also tried looking through the vim manpage and couldn't find any info there either.

Hoping someone knows what the heck I did. Thank you!

Edit: clarified what happens when I try to type ~

Edit 2: added details of the .vimrc and .viminfo files

Summary

Federal workers condemned a Trump administration email urging mass resignations, calling it a coercive and legally dubious move influenced by Elon Musk’s cost-cutting approach.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) offered “deferred resignations” while warning remaining employees of potential layoffs.

Critics, including unions and Democratic lawmakers, warned of widespread disruption to essential services.

The email’s phrasing echoed Musk’s past layoffs at Twitter, raising concerns about the administration’s intentions.

Senator Tim Kaine urged workers not to accept the offer, citing Trump’s history of broken promises.

I just want to say that I feel bad for creating an environment where people are maybe getting distracted from processing stuff that’s happening around them, and maybe to people they know. I can sometimes dig into the wrong thing at inappropriate times, that’s a me problem. Here’s a meme, and sorry if you’re going through something awful right now.

Good Morning and welcome to day 30 of Veganuary! 🌿

Feel free to use this general Check-in thread to update us on how you're feeling and what you're eating today - or take a look at the question of the day!

If you've come across this in All, feel free to check the linked resources in the sidebar and maybe even join in for some time :)

Question of the day:

What should happen to this community on February 1st?

We could go dormant for a year, just keep posting daily or weekly, move to a better instance than .world ?
