+# Bypass On-Save Tooling When Writing File
+
+Every once in a while I run into an issue where my code formatters or linters
+are misconfigured for a project. I try to save a file and it applies formatting
+that I don't want. Or in an extreme case, the error ouput of the tool is what
+overwrites the file.
+
+I need to troubleshoot my dev tooling eventually, but I don't want to get
+sidetracked at the moment. I just want to save the file. What can I do?
+
+Tools like linters and code formatters are typically hooked up to Vim via
+autocommands on certain actions like `FileWrite*` or `BufWrite*`. We can
+execute a Vim command like writing a file (`w`) while disregarding autocommands
+like so:
+
+```vim
+:noautocmd w
+```
+
+or, write and quit:
+
+```vim
+:noautocmd wq
+```
+
+This disables all autocommands for this one command. The file gets saved and
+the misconfigured formatters and linters don't clobber the changes you
+intended.
+
+See `:h noautocmd` for more details.
