hoo boy... it's bad enough having to exit myself. Try walking someone through entering a git commit message with it in Git Bash on Windows when they've never used it, or git or bash before!

"you press ESCAPE, yep, now a colon ... yeah the two dots next to the EL, but you have to use SHIFT to reach it ... okay good, now we see the colon at the bottom, good. Now press W and Q ... yup just those, to write and quit. Oh and now press ENTER. yep it's done and made the commit..."

people are telling me that ZZ is a thing.

TIL. Hopefully if I have to escape vim in anger again, I'll remember ZZ Top.

@milohax Shift + ZZ (quick exit and save) or Shift + ZQ (quick exit without saving) can be handy
