Bug#863219: vim: Exit procedure unclear

[Erik Pfannenstein]

Package: vim
Version: 2:8.0.0197-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

one of my favourite bloggers posted a link to the Stackoverflow blog 
today which states that the question on how to escape VIM reached a 
million people (hooray?). Here's the link: 

https://stackoverflow.blog/2017/05/23/stack-overflow-helping-one-million-developers-exit-vim/

Maybe the help text should tell them to hit Escape first (that's how 
I interpret the question), as this people seem to be unaware of the 
different modes of VIM.

Just a recommendation, you may either fix it or have a good laugh 
(I recommend both of it ;-) ).

Greetings,
Erik
