There's a few different ways to write that command in vim, does it accept all of them?

I'm honestly not super familiar with vim. I tried :q! and it accepted it, what are some other ways?

:wq will save and then exit, while :x will save only if the file has been modified and then exit, and then there's ZZ that does the same as :x, plus there are probably others:-)

The question specifically asked for "the command to quit Vim without saving"
