      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.
