| `ZZ` to save and quit, `ZQ` to quit without saving. Sorry, I can't help myself. |

| I've always used :x or :x! and no longer remember why. Probably it's a bad idea like without actually looking right now I think it might mean to ignore permissions (if you're root enough) and just write even if perms would have blocked it. Hm, maybe x means wq and just the ! means force. |
