I may have told this story before, but I'm very much used to not always being
in edit mode. Often I will find myself trying to "arrow" around with h, j, k,
and l in things like Notepad. Well, one time I was typing a super long email in
Outlook (at work vs personal email where I use vi)... At the end, in order to
save and send the email, I out of habit hit ESC (which brings up an "Are you
sure you want to discard this message?" pop up window with Yes being the
default button), type :wq (which does nothing, because the pop up window is
expecting a click, or y/n, etc), then enter (which presses the default Yes
button).

Why can't Outlook have a 'vi mode'? :/ I think everything should.
