To be precise, : means bring up commands, w means save, q means exit, and ! means force
I think it's w = write and q = quit so the letters make more sense
Also :x is the same as :wq
TIL. Ty!
Why would you want to write again if no changes were made? It's some obtuse behavior
To be more precise, q means quit the current window. If you've split the window, e.g. with :split or :vsplit, use :qa to quit all windows.
