Hi Dennis, Are you asking for an event which fires when you close the terminal within Vim — opened with *:term* — *or* the terminal window that's housing Vim?
If it's the later, I wonder if SigUSR1 may help here? — where SigUSR1 is the interrupt your terminal sends to Vim in the event that it's being closed impromptu — *disclaimer: I haven't tried this; I'm just inferring from the docs* — *:h autocmd-events* If you want to autosave, there's a nifty battle-tested Vim plugin — vim-auto-save <https://github.com/vim-scripts/vim-auto-save> — which I've entrusted to doing this for me. Best, Igbanam.
