Y - This will save the work. You can also press n to not save. If you do save then follow the next step:
Enter - A prompt will ask about the name of the file. If you press enter the name won't change. You can also change it by typing the name you want.
So it usally goes like this when all the commands are put together and you want to save an existing file:
Control X, Y, ENTER
