Pretty sure I can learn my grandma to put a fork in any socket to close Vim, no prior knowledge needed
Does colon-capital-Q-exclamation mark even work? I’m pretty sure it’s only lower case q.

Was going to say this, myself.
you can close vim?
“this is my life now”
cat /dev/zero > "/proc/$(pidof vim)/mem"is my favorite dumb way. Clear its memory, wait for the segfault.…you can write to program memory? Idk how exactly but that feels like a security risk.
It’s your process, why shouldn’t you be able to write to it? Vi is certainly doing it…
You do need to be root to do it to arbitrary processes.
dumb way.
Get fancy, add progress bar: pv < /dev/zero > “/proc/$(pidof vim)/mem”
Amateur. Just unplug the power cable.
Open vim.

ctrl-S instinctively from windows then panic when the terminal pauses and isnt accepting input so you restart the computer.

ctrl-z
kill %1
