A command like: vim ... > some_file simply sends the output of vim into that file, so you SEE nothing of it. Therefore you should be able to type commands into vim normally and end the 'seemingly hanging' vim-session by typing :qa! May be, you need <Strg-J> instead of <Return> if your terminal needs 'linefeed' instead of 'carriage-return' to end the line (which depends on settings and Linux versus Windows etc.).
