Nowadays it’s easy when you open vim inside gnome terminal, in my old offline noob days it was like “oh shit my terminal is locked” and the way out was either Alt+F2 and then try again or Ctrl+Z; pkill %1.
I never caught the vim bug and started with using joe and switched to nano later, I played with Emacs for some time but ended up using a GUI editor instead.
