Just a suggestion -- I'd appreciate a WinClose event. BufWinLeave would
almost do, but if two or more windows are open on the same buffer, then
no event. WinLeave fires whenever one changes windows, which isn't
what I want, either. Unless I'm misunderstanding the help for these two
events.
What would this event be used for?
The WinResized event has also been suggested. It could be used to
update the Window layout. It will also be triggered when a window is
closed, since another window will get bigger then. Would it be
sufficient to only have a WinResized event? Would these events also be
triggered when closing the last window of a tab page?
As an example: I have debugging output in a left hand window (Decho.vim
produces this sort of output);
when I hit <f9> on a function name, a vertically split window shows up
on the right and tags to the
named function. However, if that window already exists, I just want to
re-use it, not split and create another
one. To do that correctly, I need that window, when it is actually
closed, to perform some cleanup (ie. make a change
in a script variable). I want to allow other vertical windows, so there
isn't necessarily a fixed number of vertically
split panes. Actually, the script also allows <s-f9> to create a left
hand source window: [leftsource|debugging|rightsource].
The leftsource and right source windows may well be open to the same
source file. Consequently the various buffer
closing events aren't adequate. BufWinLeave almost does the trick, but
there's that "not when a buffer is still visible
in another window" caveat associated with it. That's what I've been
using, but it really isn't adequate.
A WinResized might easily occur when that window wasn't closed, too.
