As a vim noob, I needed to look it up [0]. ZZ saves the current file if modified and closes it. ZQ closes it without saving. Thank you, that will save me a few seconds per year.

Why the French way? I don't get it and I am very curious :-)

Maybe because of our (I very much include myself) infamous inability to pronounce correctly the sound "th" and making it sound like "z" instead.
