He pressed "CTRL+X" to exit "Y" to accept the changes and then "return" accepts the changes and gets you back to the prompt

He was on the unix based editor nano, he just saved the file.

You can do this by hitting CTRL+X to exit I think if there is unsaved things it would ask for it to be saved before exiting.
