I mostly use vim from the terminal by vi command.

I want to create and save a file named something like getting started.txt (there is space between two words). I tried two methods:

Method #1

:sav getting started.txt

but I got an error : E172: Only one file name allowed

Method #2

:sav "getting started.txt"

This time I got : E471: Argument required

How can I achieve what I want?
