If it’s a read only file it won’t work, but it might be in insert mode and can’t escape.

It should have tried :q!

I think it might not be vim.

Why?

It's started something on a terminal. It is assuming it's vim, but it's not operating like vim. I'm questioning it's assumption. If it had fired up nano, for example, sending vim key sequences isn't going to work. Seeing as it seems to be doing stuff with git too, it may not have started this editor explicitly. It will be using whatever git is configured to use.

Oh, ok yah. It might not be vim. It could literally be anything. I just thought I'd missed something
