Instead of trying to quit vim, just close the tab

With Gitpod you now have a new editor option for your workspaces: a terminal in the browser.

The terminal in the browser is good for full-time coding with Vim or Emacs, or simply making quick edits. A minimalistic, flexible experience to enhance your productivity using the tools that work best for you.

Customise the browser terminal with your own dotfiles or connect via SSH for added flexibility.

Getting started

• Select the terminal as the editor when you start a workspace (try gitpod.new for a blank workspace)
• You can also Set the browser terminal as your default editor in your user preferences.

See Browser Terminal for more.
