Have you ever faced a situation where you unfortunately edited a Read-only file and later realized that either you need to start a duplication putty session to make that file chmod +w or come out from vi editor without saving the data.
If you know this probably you can handle this situation better that to very fast in efficiently!
How:
While being on the bash Vim editor itself go to the command mode and type -
:sh
sh will look up the user's default shell (e.g. the Bourne shell or the C shell) and starts a new shell. In that shell change the permission of the file, type exit(ctrl+d), you will be in the same vi session; now save your file.
Enjoy!
