You don't have to ask how to exit Vim if you don't OR never used Vim. 😜

@oreru It was a relief when I set the Git editor to something different than Vim. It's still on my bucket list to learn it though.

@oreru I FEEL it (command mode) could be useful for repetitive editing tasks. Most of editing is not actually typing code but yanking it around, refactoring etc.

@3psilon Try the vimtutor command on a unix system. That taught me my first baby steps into the wonderful world of vim ;-)
