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

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.

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
