When I was absolutely new to computers I was given a similar instruction. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice whatever the key was actually being its own key, let’s say Ctrl, so I began to press down C+T+R+L.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Even today, some people are still looking for the Any key
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Oh oh, this didn’t save before quitting…
If you ended up with a file open and don’t know how to get out, there’s a good chance you shouldn’t be changing that file in the first place.
Why quit out of the superior text editor?
If you were talking about emacs, sure. But this is vi(m), it’s not even a web browser, let alone a full operating system.
I didn’t make such statement, don’t strawman me into this fight. But OP asked why you would need to exit out of it. Well maybe because one needs to do other things than edit text. Which wouldn’t be the case if one were to use emacs.
A question that’s been on my mind for a while: can you run vim in emacs? That way you’d have the best editor in the most comprehensive OS.
Why would I want an OS to edit text? It’s already on *nix - I want the best text editor smh
Joke’s on them: those aliens don’t perceive time, so the concept of pressing keys in sequence is impossible to convey.

CTRL+Z
killall -9 vim
You could also run a shell command that kills vim from within vim… :!killall -9 vim.
