I’m the same way. I think it’s just a matter of being conditioned to manually save for the majority of my computing life.

Ok here's a question I should have asked like way sooner.
In Ubuntu (and similar distros), is there a hotkey to immediately kill the process? Like CTRL-C but harsher.
My PC has a dedicated key to kill all processes.
sudo poweroff?
I use a process manager like btop for this.
If you’re using X11, you can use xkill: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xkill
You can bind it to a key in gnome/kde (not sure how they handle custom keybinds. Otherwise add a call to xbindkeys to your .bashrc or equivalent). It kills any window you want, responsive or not.
As for the terminal, I don’t think you can send SIGKILL, but ctrl + \ will result in a core dump if you’re using bash.
CTRL-C -- SIGINT
CTRL-\ -- SIGQUIT
CTRL-Z + kill -9 %1
-- SIGTSTP + SIGKILL
Ctrl+s+s+s+s+s
LOL good point about just not releasing Ctrl.
The chances are non-zero that somebody out there attempts to release and press ctrl+s at the exact same time over and over like they're hammering out Beethoven's 5th. XD
The same can be applied for editors as well
autosave is no good if you have live reload imo
I was never really aware I did this until I had to program something with hot reloading (I don't remember what) and it was so insufferable...
And now my pain is with rustfmt. Just because I saved before filling in the struct fields does not mean I want you to format the struct accordingly!!!
Intellij being a good guy amd autosaving every few seconds. No more worrying about crtl+s.
I just do a full rebuild. Saves all files.
Except the autosave in BBEdit. I trust that with my life. It’s never lost ANYTHING in 30 years.
Excuse me i think you mean ctrl+c:w
Meanwhile, me over here with the self-doubt slamming ctrl-z
