I remember that experience first time and how I had to kill the process from another shell :)

This was before the internet so couldn’t exactly google it either.

Fun times. But I figured it out by reading the man page.

Escape, :wq!

Escape enters command mode

: prompts the command

W = write

Q = quit

! forces it

The first time I used VI I typed a few characters, then hit backspace to delete some characters. Backspace doesn’t delete characters. I closed VI and never opened it again.

As a long-time vim enjoyer, I like your gusto. Imagine if you could apply regexes to that carpenter’s axe.

(Also, what sort? Do you have one of those awesome Gransfors Bruks ones?)
