There is literally written that :q to exit!

Wont work if you have unsaved edits or are in insert mode. Escape then :q! will.

and when typing :q with unsaved edits it literally also says β€œadd ! to override”

[–] prex 1 points 3 weeks ago

True.

I tend to use ZZ it ZQ instead. Its been a while.

Ooh, living life dangerously.

I would not like to have that as a finger habit!

I typed :q and it just says :q on the bottom, all this advice and I'm still stuck in vim. My electricity bill has been high since 2022 because of this heavy editor with no x button

People who have never had the pleasure of experiencing vim might not realize that the colon is a part of the command and will start recording a macro instead.
