It looks like several of the answers presume you're using vim/gvim
rather than the bash shell's vi-mode (ie. :cq, which doesn't work under
bash shell). Assuming that you actually meant to ask what should you
type while in the shell, not while in vim:

Try 0D

(move cursor to beginning of line, delete contents from cursor to
end-ofline)
