@nixCraft I'd write :q! onto the paper coaster and leave.

@funbaker
Then it will be like a literal typing of `:q!` because in Emacs, performing action requires holding a modifier key (e.g Ctrl, Alt).πŸ˜‰

In Emacs world `C-x C-c` does what you are after (close the document and close the editor window)

P.s: `C-x` means hold Ctrl and press x

@nixCraft Vim wouldn't cut it because customers wouldn't be able to quit staring at the menu because they don't know how to quit.

just edit a html in vim and format it using css and make yourself a nice book just by using vim

(i am referring to the print media query in css)

@nixCraft I don't think emacs can actually serve as a typesetter

@nixCraft Emacs is a great operating system, it just lacks a decent text editor.
