Please phrase your problem in a way that it is understandable what are you doing and what is your objective.
To enter current filename in Vim use
CTRL-R %. This works both in insert mode as well as in command mode. To enter current filename in normal mode use
"%p (after the cursor) or "%P (before cursor)

My issue is I'm trying to get out of my python version file I have created. Once I paste the name of my version in the file how do I get back to my terminal.

:q should quit if you're in the "normal" mode (i.e. you're not editing), or :q! if you need to write the file on quitting.

:q! is 'quit without saving'; if one wants to save file it should be either :x ('write if buffer has changed and quit') or :wq ('write and quit')
