For anyone who has been inspired to try vi/vim:
To exit vi or vim, press Esc then type ":q" (without quotes) and hit enter.
If it warns you about not saving, try ":wq" to save and quit or ":q!" to quit without saving.
If this is in the article video I apologize, but I did check and it's not in the article text.

- Havoc 6y agoThat's also the sequence that persuaded me that vim isn't for me. Can't even close the editor without memorizing some arcane keystroke sequence? Hard pass I get that it's efficient once mastered but I just can't push that kind of thing to the top of my to-do list. I'll spend my time learning French or something
- JadeNB 6y agoThis vimmer is always inclined to laugh at tutorials for how to exit vim … but then I remind myself that I still have to Google how to quit emacs whenever I stumble into it.
