How to exit VIM in 60 seconds!

Don’t feel embarrassed, even the most experienced devs get stuck in VIM! In this video, Angela Andrews (Instructor, Girl Develop It) shows you how to exit VIM in 60 seconds. It’s just a quick Escape, Colon, Q (for quit), ! (for heck yes!), and Enter, and you’ll be exiting out of VIM like a pro.

For a handy VIM tutorial, enter VIMTutor in your command line and press enter.

Thanks for this! Total noob here wrangling VIM; felt stupid until watching this two minute explanation. Well done, and I really like her delivery!

You go Scooter! Exiting VIM for newbies is so so common...thanks for the quick lesson! Nice job!

I've found a better way - go to add remove programs -> uninstall vim. Works like a charm.

YO lady! thanks for your video, vey informative, unfortunately for me, like many others I'm still trapped in VIM. It's been around 4 to 6 days since I entered thinking it would be ez to get out (encouraged by tutorials like this one (which is a great tutorial)). I just wanted to create my very one "how to get out of VIM" tuto so I guess I'll just have to live with consequences of my actions. So anyway lady could you please help me? I'll give you root privileges.

Another way: ZZ to save and quit, ZQ to quit without saving

I entered the "easy" mode thinking it would be easier to exit and now I can't get out

I need a small favour. I would like to know how to transfer all my albums from my business page to instagram?

[eliaszmichal]

Thank you very much, at first I was furious because I was stuck editing the conf file and you did not translate immediately and straightforwardly, but now I feel stupid, I Greet You very much ;)

I know this video had good intentions but really if you have the opportunity to use vim you probably already know how to get out of it

vimtutor, not VIMTutor.


Are you even at computers?
