Saving and quiting at Vim

If like me you wonder how the hell to write in Vim, make sure you are in the insert mode(The mode that you can actually write). You can do that by pressing i.

After finishing, you are supposed to save what you have written. So you press Esc button and then write :w. Then you can simply write :q to quit.

Pay attention that you can write commands(:w, :q, ...) in the command line and you can go to command line by pressing Esc button in Vim.

Good luck, it is a powerful editor, but as me, you got a long way a head to learn how to work with it.
