I was a bit confused when you mentioned this, but then I realised the actual sequence is ^X^C. It's because ctrl-X is a sort of metacharacter, and ctrl-C is used for the standard INT signal you know from other programs.

And to be fair, GTK emacs has File->Quit as well (which helpfully reminds you you could use C-x C-c instead!).

And I did not speak out, for I was a nano user.

Now that everyone uses VSCode, who is left to speak for you?

I still use nano! The nice part about it is that it shows the command keys at the bottom. I forget what it is to exit, but I don’t need to remember!

Nano is very supportive, any time I find myself using it it knows that what I need most is to "Exit" and "Get Help"

As it should be. I miss Windows 95 for stuff like this

^X^C, but yes, Emacs also has a menu by default so you can click your way out of it.
