    Vim user here. The only way to exit vim is to pray to the Vim gods and sacrifice your first born, hoping that they’ll cause a cosmic ray to hit the right spot in the memory to flip the right bit that causes it to exit. There are no alternatives.

        Are you guys serious? Command q. or x. or wq. or use a proper fucking terminal so you can ctrl -z and resume.

          These is one of the oldest Linux memes. No, they aren’t serious. I have a hard time believing anyone here doesn’t actually know how to exit vim properly.

            I have a hard time believing anyone here doesn’t actually know how to exit vim properly.

            You power cycle the machine, then run apt-get update && apt-get install nano, right?

            Fuckin \s, just in case that wasn’t clear
