Thanks for the suggestion. The behavior looks OK, but it's a bit
inconsistent. When editing three files in three windows, making a
change in each buffer, then hiding the first one, you see two windows
with a changed buffer. Then ":q!" abandons a buffer and it is no longer
marked as modified. But using ":q!" in the last window switches to the
hidden changed buffer without marking the current buffer as not
modified. Thus typing ":q!" again will switch to the other buffer,
that's not what the user intended.
So this sequence:
vim -o a.txt b.txt c.txt
[make a change in each window]
:hide (hides a.txt, still modified)
:q! (removes modified flag from b.txt, only see c.txt now)
:q! (error, switches to a.txt)
:q! (error, switches to c.txt)
etc.
Would there be a problem to have ":q!" always mark the current buffer as
not modified, so that one can exit by typing ":q!" again?
Then the behavior would be:
vim -o a.txt b.txt c.txt
[make a change in each window]
:hide (hides a.txt, still modified)
:q! (removes modified flag from b.txt, only see c.txt now)
:q! (removes modified flag from c.txt, error, switches to a.txt)
:q! (exits)
