Security code to enable vim emulation in obsidian.md

I occasionally use obsidian.md to take notes with. It comes with a somewhat decent vim emulation mode, at least for in-file navigation.

To activate this mode, obsidian tries to be cute and asks you to answer a security question, to prove that you understand vim well enough or something. However, the answer it requires is odd enough (and IMO, not actually correct) that it took me a little while to get, which annoyed me enough to write this note. Details under the cut, if you really want to avoid spoilers.

please enter the command to quit Vim without saving below:

The answer is :q! or :quit!.

q!, which is the actual command, is apparently not enough. ZQ (from normal mode), which is not technically a command but still does it, doesn't count.


To be clear, I do still like obsidian, for the most part, this behaviour just annoys me and them being wrong about it annoys me further.
