I've said that they have to take care. I don't really like to always type "sudo" in front of each command, but is up to the user what wants to do. I didn't had a problem until now... Maybe I'm doing it bad, but I couldn't find better.

Type sudo. You get used to it pretty quickly.

Also, side note: the canonical way to enter insert mode in vim is via the "i" key. Vimmers work hard to stay on the home row.

You're not doing anything that needs root access. Why would you need to ever type sudo??
