It is commonly used to edit configuration files, scripts, text files, and other files directly from the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, many beginners face one common question after editing a file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How do I save and exit Nano in Linux?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike graphical text editors, Nano does not have a visible Save or Close button. Instead, you use keyboard shortcuts to save your changes, exit the editor, or discard changes you do not want to keep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide explains how to save and exit Nano, save changes without closing the editor, exit without saving, save a file with a different name, and troubleshoot common issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick Answer: How to Save and Exit Nano<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To save your changes and exit Nano:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Press <strong>Ctrl + O<\/strong> to save the file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press <strong>Enter<\/strong> to confirm the file name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press <strong>Ctrl + X<\/strong> to exit Nano.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ctrl + X \u2192 Y \u2192 Enter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This exits Nano and saves your changes when Nano asks whether you want to save the modified file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Nano Editor in Linux?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano is a command-line text editor used on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. It is popular because it is simple and beginner-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use Nano to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Edit configuration files<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create text files<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modify scripts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Update server settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Edit website and application files<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make quick changes through SSH<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manage files directly from the Linux terminal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano displays useful keyboard shortcuts at the bottom of the editor screen, making it easier to learn than many other command-line editors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, when Nano displays <code>^O<\/code>, the <code>^<\/code> symbol means the <strong>Ctrl<\/strong> key. Therefore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>^O<\/code> means <strong>Ctrl + O<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>^X<\/code> means <strong>Ctrl + X<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>^G<\/code> means <strong>Ctrl + G<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official GNU Nano shortcut reference lists <code>Ctrl + O<\/code> for writing out a file, <code>Ctrl + X<\/code> for exiting, and <code>Ctrl + S<\/code> for saving the current file in supported versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Open a File in Nano<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before saving or exiting, you first need to open a file in Nano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>nano filename.txt\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>nano testfile.txt\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the file already exists, Nano opens it for editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the file does not exist, Nano creates a new file when you save it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also open system configuration files. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo nano \/etc\/hosts\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <code>sudo<\/code> command may be required when editing files that need administrator permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Save a File in Nano<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After making changes to a file, you can save it without exiting Nano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Press Ctrl + O<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ctrl + O<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The letter is <strong>O<\/strong>, not the number zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Nano, this command is commonly called <strong>Write Out<\/strong>, which means writing the current file contents to disk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After pressing the shortcut, Nano displays a file name prompt near the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may see something similar to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>File Name to Write: filename.txt\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Confirm the File Name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to save the file using the existing file name, simply press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Enter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano saves the file and returns you to the editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your changes are now saved, but Nano remains open so you can continue editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Save Shortcut in Nano<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On current versions of GNU Nano, you may also be able to use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ctrl + S<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">to save the current file directly. The official Nano shortcut documentation lists <code>Ctrl + S<\/code> as the command to save the current file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For beginners, however, <strong>Ctrl + O followed by Enter<\/strong> remains a familiar and widely used method for saving files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Save and Exit Nano Editor<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have finished editing the file and want to save your changes and close Nano, follow these steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1: Save First, Then Exit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the simplest method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Save the File<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ctrl + O<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Enter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This saves the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Exit Nano<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After saving, press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ctrl + X<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano will close and return you to the Linux terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shortcut Summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Ctrl + O\nEnter\nCtrl + X\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method is useful when you want to make sure your changes are saved before leaving the editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Exit Nano and Save Changes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another simple method is to exit first and let Nano ask whether you want to save your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ctrl + X<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the file contains unsaved changes, Nano displays a message asking whether you want to save the modified buffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Y<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">for <strong>Yes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano may then ask you to confirm the file name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Enter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">to save using the current file name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The complete process is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Ctrl + X\nY\nEnter\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano will save the changes and exit the editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Exit Nano Without Saving Changes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes you may want to close Nano without saving the changes you made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Press <strong>Ctrl + X<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When Nano asks whether you want to save the modified buffer, press <strong>N<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shortcut sequence is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Ctrl + X\nN\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano will discard your unsaved changes and return you to the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be careful when choosing this option because changes that have not been saved will be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Cancel the Exit Process in Nano<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you accidentally press <strong>Ctrl + X<\/strong>, Nano may ask whether you want to save your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can cancel the exit process and return to the editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ctrl + C<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This cancels the current prompt and allows you to continue editing the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is useful if you accidentally try to exit Nano before finishing your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Save a File With a Different Name in Nano<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano also allows you to save a file using a different name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Press <strong>Ctrl + O<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nano displays the current file name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove or edit the existing file name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the new file name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press <strong>Enter<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you opened:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>testfile.txt\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">you can save a copy as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>backup.txt\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is useful when you want to create a backup or save your edited file as a new version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding Common Nano Shortcuts<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some of the most useful Nano keyboard shortcuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Action<\/th><th>Shortcut<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Save current file<\/td><td>Ctrl + S<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Save or Write Out file<\/td><td>Ctrl + O<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Confirm file name<\/td><td>Enter<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Exit Nano<\/td><td>Ctrl + X<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Save and

help<\/td><td>Ctrl + G<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano displays many of these shortcuts at the bottom of the editor screen. You can also press <strong>Ctrl + G<\/strong> to open the built-in help documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example: Save and Exit a File in Nano<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s look at a simple example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose you open a file using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>nano example.txt\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You make some changes to the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you want to save your work and exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 1: Save First<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Ctrl + O\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Enter\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the file is saved, press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Ctrl + X\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will return to the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 2: Exit and Save When Prompted<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Ctrl + X\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano asks whether you want to save the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Y\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then confirm the file name by pressing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Enter\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The file will be saved and Nano will close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does &#8220;Save Modified Buffer?&#8221; Mean in Nano?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you edit a file, Nano stores your changes in memory until you save them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This working copy is often referred to as a <strong>buffer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you try to exit without saving, Nano may display a message similar to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Save modified buffer?\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano is asking whether you want to keep the changes you made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You usually have three options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Press Y<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press <strong>Y<\/strong> if you want to save your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Press N<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press <strong>N<\/strong> if you want to discard your changes and exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Press Ctrl + C<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press <strong>Ctrl + C<\/strong> if you want to cancel the exit process and return to the editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This confirmation helps prevent accidental data loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is Ctrl + O Used to Save in Nano?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many graphical applications, users are familiar with pressing <strong>Ctrl + S<\/strong> to save a file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano also supports <code>Ctrl + S<\/code> in current versions, but <strong>Ctrl + O<\/strong> has traditionally been one of Nano&#8217;s main save commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <code>O<\/code> shortcut refers to <strong>Write Out<\/strong>, which means writing the file contents to storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you press <strong>Ctrl + O<\/strong>, Nano asks you to confirm the file name before saving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is also useful when you want to save the file under a different name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Exit Nano When There Are No Changes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you open a file in Nano but do not make any changes, you can simply press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Ctrl + X\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano will close and return you to the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You usually will not receive a save confirmation because there are no unsaved changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens If You Exit Nano Without Saving?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Ctrl + X\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">after making changes, Nano checks whether the file has been modified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there are unsaved changes, Nano asks whether you want to save them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you choose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>N\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano exits without saving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any changes made since the last save will be discarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, it is always a good idea to confirm that important changes have been saved before exiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Problems When Saving Files in Nano<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Permission Denied Error<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes Nano may show a permission error when you try to save a file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This usually happens when your current user does not have permission to modify the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, many system files require administrator privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may need to open the file using <code>sudo<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo nano filename\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo nano \/etc\/hosts\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be careful when editing system files because incorrect changes can affect your Linux system or server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unable to Save a File<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Nano cannot save a file, check the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do you have permission to modify the file?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you have permission to write to the directory?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the file system full?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the file system mounted as read-only?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you editing a protected system file?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If necessary, check the file permissions or open the file with the appropriate administrative privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accidentally Exited Nano<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you exit Nano and choose not to save your changes, those unsaved changes may be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid this, always choose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Y<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">when Nano asks whether you want to save the modified file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pressed the Wrong Shortcut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano provides a built-in help screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Ctrl + G\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">to view available commands and keyboard shortcuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can be useful when you are new to Nano or forget a command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nano Save and Exit Shortcuts for Beginners<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you only remember three things, remember these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Save a File<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Ctrl + O \u2192 Enter\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Save and Exit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Ctrl + X \u2192 Y \u2192 Enter\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exit Without Saving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Ctrl + X \u2192 N\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p
