Normal Mode By default, Vim starts in “normal” mode. Normal mode can be accessed from other modes by pressing Esc or <C-[> .
Type i to switch into insert mode so that you can start editing the file. Enter or modify the text with your file. Once you're done, press the escape key Esc to get out of insert mode and back to command mode. Type :wq to save and exit your file.
