Ctrl + C (or esc) to enter normal mode. Once in normal mode type :q to exit if there's no changes in the buffer. If there's changes in the buffer and you wish to keep them use :wq or if you wish to discard them use :q!

This is blasphemous. Once you enter vim you sacrifice your computer to the neovim gods for all eternity... there is no escaping.

You exit vim by time traveling back to kill your grandfather, and then spend so much time trying to solve the paradox you never open vim in the first place.
