:q!ESC to enter normal mode (if you’re in a different mode like insert) : (colon) to enter commands q to quit ! (or a) to use the quit command withiut keeping any changes

I’ve been seeing a lot of Perl jokes lately and as far as legacy code I haven’t had to edit anything written in that in 25 or so years. For those that haven’t used it, getting form variables and rudimentary things like that were like equivalent to regular expressions, everything had some obscure expression you had to look up or copy paste.
