    You literally type colon q exclamation mark [enter]

    : is basically telling vim that you want to execute a command

    q is quit

    ! means without saving

    and hit enter to execute it

      Very important: you have to either be in normal mode first or get there by pressing escape (or <C-[> (aka Ctrl+[)), which is mentioned in the edited image from Arrival, but left out of your explanation.
