I am trying to make transition from vim to emacs (specifically doom-emacs). I was using term mode and habitually used vim in an attempt to edit another file forgetting that I was inside emacs.

I tried exiting vim with :wq but : is taken by evil being interpreted as emacs command, and while ZZ should work, I don't want my works to be saved in my case.

People recommended me to kill vim outside emacs or exit term mode, and that's working. However, I am wondering whether there's a proper way to exit vim and go back to shell inside emacs term mode.

If ZZ works for you, but the problem is that you don't want work saved, you can use ZQ to quit without saving.

  • With an addition, that if vim is in insert mode, press C-c C-c to send Ctrl-C to vim to exit insert mode.

Just turn off Evil mode so that the vim keybindings won't get interpreted globally by Emacs.

  • This actually was an obvious solution that I overlooked - ty sir. Oh, and to get back to evil-mode, for me, was to hit M-x and type evil-mode
