How to Exit and Save Vim?

The first step to exit and save the current file is to press :x. The next step is to enter the Vim command extension, :wq. Lastly, press Enter on the keyboard. The files will now be saved and you can logout of your vim session by hitting CTRL + D.  Exiting Vim is as simple as hitting the ESC key. For example, if you want to quit from within a function without leaving that function, use:

exit vim

on Jan 01, 1970
#Press 'Esc' to change from Edit Mode to Command Mode
#Exit
:q
#Force quit without saving
:q!
#Save file and quit
:wq

Press Esc key: This is very important, because you must exit the edit mode first before typing the exit command(s). Next, you can type one of the following commands:
:q (yes, the colon is included in the command) – This will quit the editor
:q! – Quit Vim without saving the data file
:wq – Save the file and exit Vim
And then press the Enter key

When you are in the top-most layer of Vim, pressing ESC triggers two commands: exit and save.
