If you open vim the first thing you will see it's a text describing how to close it. Not saying other things are easier for a new user but closing is pretty simple. EDIT: if press ctrl - c vim will show you what you should press instead

And the whole time you have nano open it shows you all the shortcuts how to save and close at the bottom, so no, closing nano is not harder.

Unless you don't know that ^ means Ctrl 🥲

Then you press ctrl+g for help and it tells you:

Shortcuts are written as follows: Control-key sequences are notated with a '^' and can be entered either by using the Ctrl key or pressing the Esc key twice.

:D

Actually TIL about pressing esc twice.

Why would you press CTRL+G if you didn't know that ^ was CTRL?

Look at the screenshot I posted, it actually specifies "ctrl + g" for help.

I'd argue closing vim is still easier. You just have to hold down the power button long enough.

stop making sense its annoying

I had to look up the upside down V meant Ctrl, which makes sense to me now that I know, but I had to Google that.

Or you could look on the bar above the shortcuts that explicitly says Ctrl+G = help

It's called a caret
