@vaporeon_ nowhere in the vi* UI is “press escape to enter commands” explained, and discoverability of the available commands if you press escape is rather weak. furthermore, the editor catches signals like interrupt, and fur whatever reason people don’t usually learn about the job control functionalities of shells, so even the alternative of c-z-ing out is something most new users won’t likely even remotely consider trying
if you’re very new to the unix purrogramming environment, or just specifically vi, it makes complete sense to me that vi could be baffling. but it’s easy enough to learn your way around

@clarfonthey @packbat that was my thought also
