Accidentally I typed vim -y install python-requests instead of yum ... and I do not know how to exit from vim now. Standard option with shift + : + q! does not work. Are there any options how to exit from vim without killing it?

Easy by default Now when you open vim just like that, it will already be in easy mode. And what's even better, is that we can get out of it easily using Ctrl + q .
These are the following: Esc + :x + Enter (Save and exit) Esc + :qa + Enter (Quit all open files) Esc + Shift ZZ (Save and exit)
Easy mode is actually a collection of various Vim options that tell Vim to act like any standard text editor. Instead of using y to “yank” (copy) text, and then pasting text using p or P in normal mode, Vim's easy mode lets you use the standard Ctrl-c to copy text and Ctrl-v to paste text.
With -y (easy mode), Vim defaults to insert mode, and you cannot permanently exit to normal mode via <Esc>. However, like in default Vim, you can issue a single normal mode command via <C-O>. So to exit, type <C-O>:q!<CR>.
Alternatively, there's a special <C-L> mapping for easy mode that returns to normal mode.

-y option makes vim start in easy mode, you can type CTRL-L to return to normal mode and then type :q! to exit.
