        You literally type colon q exclamation mark [enter]

        : is basically telling vim that you want to execute a command

        q is quit

        ! means without saving

        and hit enter to execute it

          Very important: you have to either be in normal mode first or get there by pressing escape (or <C-[> (aka Ctrl+[)), which is mentioned in the edited image from Arrival, but left out of your explanation.

      Do people use “esc” for this? I thought ctrl-c was the easy way. Esc is so much harder to reach.
