I did find this answer here:
Vim Stuck In Insert Mode
However none of the commands listed worked for me. Exit, cntrl + [, cntrl + q
I'm totally a terminal newb, trying to learn how to setup git using homebrew. Watching this tutorial and I was able to set my global username and email, but I'm stuck in VIM.
I can get out of it by quitting the terminal, but I have to do this every time 🙁
Is there a better way?

:q
is not good because you need to save the file manually before quit.If you use main window only(no tabs),
:wq
or equivalentZZ
is better. They will save and quit.ZZ
is easier to type.I use tabs often, so normal commands
:wq
orZZ
can't fit my need.Then I made such mapping in vimrc
After this, I forget all other quit options, only this one to fit all.
