I want a prompt to save Vim edits when closing window with "X" button
Hi, I normally close Vim with either ":q" or ":wq" or "ZZ". However yesterday at the end of the day, I closed a bunch of windows and accidentally closed a Vim window and lost some edits :-( I wish that Vim would display a prompt to save changes when I close with the "X" button at the right top of the window (windows 7). When I run Gvim, and close the window with the "X" button, I get a prompt to "save changes yes or no". I wish I could get a similar prompt with Vim. I run Vim with mintty.exe using a batch file: SET PRINTER="\\SR\Brother" start mintty.exe -p 0,0 /usr/bin/vim.exe %1 Maybe a different terminal instead of mintty? I did find an old post where someone wanted to disable the "X" button when using Vim. The suggestion was to edit Vim source and recompile. That could turn into a non trivial effort. Any comments? thanks windows7 cygwin64 -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.

Re: Is it possible to redirect vim input?
Thanks all. Just took a quick look at clientserver (remote.txt) and netbeans.txt which give a lot info about this kind of integration of vim. I probably can use them for my goal. I just want to make gdb easier to use, maybe spoiled by windows debugger key bindings but it is just so easier than gdb command line. My motivation is to make it easy to try rust in a more interactive way: type in lines of code, compile (which is quite fast), run / step through it and display variable values and output. This will not support profound use of gdb easily but should be good enough as a start. Obviously this can apply to other languages as well.

Re: netrw opens file in wrong directory
Hello DrChip, Thank you for fixing this bug! The new version works beautifully on the test case. However, I pushed the test a bit further as follows: 1) Set up the initial state again with the treeview in mode 3. 2) Open fileA in a new window at the left using netrw-v. 3) Now, split the new left window using C-ws. The top window should be active. 4) Select fileB using C-w lj and hit P. Then file dirA/fileB [RO] is opened again, instead of the existing fileB. Hope you can fix this one too before issuing to Bram :) Best regards, Gideon -- -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist. Do not top-post!

netrw opens file in wrong directory
I am quite happily using netrw, but I stumbled upon the following bug (or feature?) Not sure if this is the right place to post, but here it goes: While using g:netrw_liststyle=3 and opening a file with netrw-P, netrw sometimes tries to open the highlighted file from the wrong directory. Consider the following test case: ../ netrwtest/ | dirA/ | | fileA | fileB and try the following: Go to fileA and hit v. As expected, dirA/fileA opens in a new window at the left. Now, do C-w lj to highlight fileB and hit P. Notice that netrw has now opened a new file, dirA/fileB [RO], instead of the existing fileB.
