Vim Command Sequence Kbd for React

Typing a colon in normal mode opens a command line at the bottom of the screen. You type a command, like wq, and press Enter to run it, or Esc to cancel.

The keys are typed as one word, so gap-1 keeps them together. A wider gap, or an arrow, would suggest separate steps with a pause between them.

Yes: the command is :wq in lowercase, and :WQ fails. The caps show capital letters because that's what keyboards print; say lowercase in the text, or show the command in code next to the keys.

:w to save, :q to quit, :wq to save and quit, :q! to quit without saving, and / to search. Those get most people in and out of Vim.

Vim commands have short forms so they're quick to type: w is short for write and q for quit. The full forms, like :write, work too.

They read colon, W, Q as separate characters, which matches what to type. Add the command in text, such as Type :wq and press Enter, so the Enter step isn't missed.
