Hello!
The autocmd system is always invoked based on the buffer name.
Thus it appears none of the autocmds will fire, including BufWriteCmd,
BufReadCmd, CursorHold, etc.
The only alternative that I can think of is to use maps, for example, try
to catch a newline in insert mode.

With * as the pattern, the autocommand _is_ triggered, but...
Experiment:
1. Define an autocommand
:au BufAdd * echo "New buffer:" expand("<afile>")
2. Trigger it
:new
New buffer:
:new dummy
New buffer: dummy
"dummy" [New File]
Reading viminfo file "/root/.viminfo" marks
expand() is necessary, otherwise I get errors culminating in E15 Invalid
expression
Best regards,
Tony.
