Question
A Github repo made by “hakluke” collects over 80 ways to perform this action, including a misleadingly-named “simple way” that involves 5 piped commands starting with a “ps”. A Stack Overflow blog post was written to celebrate 1 million views on a question by “jclancy” about this action, and noted that JQuery and CSS developers were most likely to need help with it. A tweet by “I Am Devloper” says “I’ve been using [a certain program] for 2 years now, mostly because I can’t figure out how to” do this action. This action can be performed by pressing (*) escape to enter normal mode, and then typing commands like “colon x” or “colon w q”. For 10 points, name this notoriously difficult action, which you might want to do if you accidentally open the main alternative to Emacs. ■END■
ANSWER: exiting vim [accept vi in place of “vim”; accept synonyms like “quitting” or “leaving” in place of “exiting”; prompt on “quitting” or synonyms with “what program?”]
