The language statistics for this are interesting. 5.3million C files with everything else coming in way behind in the tens of thousands.

It's also interesting that if you limit the search to the C language, it looks like the search ignores the ":" after the first dozen or so hits and the remaining entries are matches for "wq" in variable names, etc. e.g.:

   extern struct workqueue_struct *kcrypto_wq;

Edit: Actually, this seems to be true of most languages...

Context? What is :wq - I'm assuming some sort of Vim shortcut?

It's the vim command to write & quit.

This is hilarious. You should probably also search files named ":w". I have a lot of those.

I constantly find myself questioning the sanity of doing something like:

> inoremap :wq
