I think you have a good premise for a science fiction story right here: Say some "magic" (i.e. invented) physics quirk allows you to travel both into the future and the past, but all you can do is essentially accelerate and rewind time drastically. You don't "jump" to a time, there's still a physical presence, and colliding would have catastrophic results.
The logistical impacts from that would yield plenty of storytelling material: If you want to travel back in time, you need some ancient cellar that has been undisturbed since the target timeframe. If you want to skip forward, you need to establish that cellar, and round trips are limited by the space available.
That is - essentially - how 2002's _The Time Machine_ showed travel: Alexander's machine was 'stationary' on the earth, but time passed around him in a massively accelerated manner

Yes - I must have been thinking of Terry Pratchett. Of course, Moore has said a lot about the cross-over between magick and stories (i.e. being the same).
Not so fast, if you can do `:` (i.e. enter command-line mode) then you can do plain `:q!` - no Esc or Ctrl needed.
How I understood the original problem is that you're in vim, you started editing text (insert mode) and now want to exit; but there is no Esc, so even exiting insert mode is a challenge. And now you added the constraint of missing Ctrl too, so no Ctrl-[ or Ctrl-C.
If you type `:.! kill -9 $(pgrep -u $(whoami) vim)` then you just entered that as text into your document.
One answer could be to use the trackball, launch a new terminal window and kill the process from there.
Almost any website with an image gallery is a better source than Instagram for browsing images available on both even for those with Instagram accounts; the image quality is almost always better elsewhere.
There are also pretty active facebook groups where she and others post remarkable slime mold photos ("Slime Mold Identification & Appreciation" and "Ascomycetes of the world").
