Ask for confirmation before quitting Vim.

Ask for confirmation before quitting Vim.

I originally wrote this as an answer on vi Stack Exchange.

The idea is based on the "ConfirmQuit" script.

To use it you'll need to remap keys that "quit" Vim as there's no other way to prevent Vim from quitting. This plugin comes with the following mappings by default:

cnoremap <silent> q<CR>  :call confirm_quit#confirm(0, 'last')<CR>
cnoremap <silent> wq<CR> :call confirm_quit#confirm(1, 'last')<CR>
cnoremap <silent> x<CR>  :call confirm_quit#confirm(1, 'last')<CR>
nnoremap <silent> ZZ     :call confirm_quit#confirm(1, 'last')<CR>

See :help confirm-quit for the full documentation.

confirm_quit.vim's Issues

Confirmation prompt incorrectly shown when empty windows open

If one or more empty windows are open in Vim the confirmation prompt is shown when closing a window even if the when parameter is set to 'last' and Vim is not going to quit.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Setup confirm_quit plugin with default mappings.
2. Open Vim instance with two empty windows, e.g. using :split
3. Close one of the empty windows.

A confirmation prompt is shown even though Vim is not going to quit.
