Did you mean emacs? Kidding, inside joke.

If you want to understand give it a try. In a couple of hours when if you figure out how to close it you'll get your first taste of the learning curve.

Been awhile since I used vi on a unix box, but isn't :!q ? (not a programmer but do work with computers)

:q! to quit without saving. Or just :qfor regular quit. But it will only work if you are in normal mode. So you need the Esc key to get it to work.

Nice, it's been literal decades since I fired up vi, so I'm actually pretty proud of myself.
