The CNC machine seems to be significantly easier to turn off when you’re done with it, though. Judging from the memes, anyway - I’ve never had to use vim, thankfully.

ESC

then

:wq

Write quit

:q!

Force quit (no save)

I don't even use vim, other than for commit messages lol

You can also use :x to write and quit, from memory.
