Can’t edit downloaded notes from Github

I downloaded a copy of someone’s vault for D&D notes. I got them off of Github. They put a link to download and I did so successfully but then I couldn’t edit the notes.

I tried to change the permissions in the file itself and turned off read-only but it would turn back on after applying.

Every time I try to type or hit backspace it just moved the curser backwords a space.

Is it possible that Vim key bindings mode is turned on? If you hit j or k does the cursor move up and down?

The whole vault needs user permissions.
