Hi @dinessahu

How do you mean it’s not coming out of insert mode after pressing ESC?

  • Is it still saying INSERT at the bottom?
  • Is it still typing in the editor screen and not on the bottom line?
  • Is this any particular lab (link please)?

So you are using Ubuntu on your laptop/workstation?
Are you using Chrome browser? If not, please try that.

Also it seems CTRL - [ is an alternative key binding to exit insert mode.

Hi @dinessahu ,

If you don’t mind, Please attach the screenshot.

it’s caused by the Vimium Chrome extension on my Macbook.

Exclude the https?://*.labs.kodekloud.com/* works for me.

I am using a laptop(ubuntu) and Chrome browser. How to save the changes before exiting?

When I reopen the file again using vi the changes are not showing.
