    You are inside vim. To save changes and quit, type:

    <esc> :wq <enter>
    

    That means:

    • Press Escape. This should make sure you are in command mode
    • type in :wq
    • Press Return

    An alternative that stdcall in the comments mentions is:

    • Press Escape
    • Press shift+Z shift+Z (capital Z twice).
