cron is a tool to schedule tasks see: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/cron.8.html and: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/crontab.5.html
But what does "chron" have to do with cron? Or was that a typo?
BTW it's :x to save and exit.
It's amazing how fast one can edit text with vi once you get all the keys down. There used to be a video game that taught how to use VI. Is it still around?
You're probably referring to https://vim-adventures.com/.
text editing can be a thankless, soul-sucking chore without the proper tools. I've seen otherwise intelligent individuals abandon a software career because they never quite figured out how to efficiently do it. I wouldn't say that vi/vim is the only tool that can do the job, but it's the one that I've chosen.
I was introduced to vi by a stroke of fate. My buddy in college pulled me aside and introduced it to me. I initially thought he we crazy because we had no shortage of schoolwork to do and vi just seemed impenetrably nuts. Really glad he did: my career might have taken a very different arc without that encounter.

Let's not forget Bram Moolenaar, who also deserves credit for extending the work on Vi. Vim [Vi iMproved] is likely (along with NeoVim) the actual Vi editor most people are using these days.
