I test if qwen3.5-35B-A3B can exit vim when running in a harness that allows it to read the raw terminal buffer and send raw key presses to the terminal. Enjoy!

Obvious question demands an obvious answer. No. No-one can exit vim.

I started using it nearly 30 years ago now and there is still no end in sight. I’m pretty much convinced it’s just not possible at this point.

It boots into Vim.
