I've been using vim for years, and before that, I was a fan of the original vi. I'm no in touch with my inner vimmist that after spending 8 long years exploring the dark side (gui-based editors in Windows), when I returned to Linux and vi, my fingers remembered how to do everything, even though I myself no longer had a clue.
So now we get to the GVim problem. Like I said, I'm hard wired for vi. So when I'm done with a file/buffer and want to go do something else, my fingers express this instinct by simply typing <esc>:q<return> When vi is running in a shell window, this is exactly what needs to be done to return me to my normal shell terminal world. But in GVim, this behavior has devastating side effects: it shuts down my editor. Argghhh! What I'd like to know is whether there's a way to remap :q to something harmless. Ideally it would dump a message at me saying "Use :quit if you really want to shut down" - or something like that. If we can just keep my fingers from killing my edit window out of habit, I'll be a happy camper. -- Jeff Smith Computer Science Dept. University of Saskatchewan
