Damn, I guess you need a new phone.
I’ve been telling myself that for a while.
I guess it’s time now.
You don’t exit Vim. Only Vim exits you.
There should be a hardware reset pin hole somewhere near the place where PIN/SD cards are placed. It was designed specifically for VIM users. Hold it with a narrow object.
EDIT: typo
I’m stealing this forever. Thank you.
I solemnly swear to explain “it’s for Vim users” every time I speak of those little pin reset buttons in the future.
Obviously, you need to feed the cow first!
Force stop the app!! Turn off the phone!! Throw it into Mordor! Its literally the only way
- Connect to Laptop
- Start adb
- Flash phone
- Install [distro]
- Profit
This is your life now.
Too late. You’ll need a new phone.
I’ve learned a few new commands now.

Added context.
ESC exits Insert mode (or any other mode you are in)
: tells vim you are entering a command
q is the command for quit
! tells vim for force quit (without saving)
Alternatively, :wq will write (save) the file then quit.
First: press escape
Then type
:!killall -s KILL vimOn some devices you can hold the back key to kill the foreground app.

You could use Hackers KB which has the Ctrl keys, Esc, etc.
If you turn off the Accessibility button on the bottom right, you can switch between keyboards easily too.
