    My favorite big-brained way of quitting is ZZ (save and quit) and ZQ (quit without saving). Learned these shortcuts from a video by the legendary Luke Smith [1].

    I test if qwen3.5-35B-A3B can exit vim when running in a harness that allows it to read the raw terminal buffer and send raw key presses to the terminal. Enjoy!

        I wrote it myself it python. The model runs in a loop and can either read the terminal or input keys. If it does neither the loop exits.

    Obvious question demands an obvious answer. No. No-one can exit vim.

    I started using it nearly 30 years ago now and there is still no end in sight. I’m pretty much convinced it’s just not possible at this point.
