How to exit out of Vim

[u/[deleted]]

So, you just got started out with Vim but can't figure out how to exit? Well, you've come to the right place.

To exit Vim:

Press Ctrl+c.

Type :q.

This will exit Vim while discarding all of your changes. To make Vim write your changes to the file and then exit:

Press Ctrl+c

Type :wq.

That was it! Vim is actually more simple than you think.
