I can't try again because I can't exit out ...

Just type :!bash (or whatever heathenous shell you prefer) and you never have to leave the warm embrace of vim ever again

It's a common problem but the correct solution to closing vim is quite easy, press and hold control alt and F5 to drop to a new terminal. From there you can do "killall vim" to properly close vim, then just drop back to your main session
