I think "exit" would be confusing because most graphical editors (Sublime,
Textmate, Notepad++, ...) can open multiple files and do not need to exit.
The requirement is indeed save and close the file.
How about:
hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file...
I generally like that as this is technical correct from all angles.
My only nit would be that "the file" is a bit imprecise... but
that's probably no problem.
