When I run yapf on my code, an error page appears, rightly showing the error I have in the code. How on earth do I close this window and go back to my code? :lclose doesn't work. :close closed the whole tab, including my code. :q closes the whole tab again. How can I close this error tab?
I am running gVim 8. Thank you in advance.
It's aquickfix window, and you can close it with the command :cclose.
The above is rubbish, and I apologise for answering too hastily.
All the yapf plugins I found seem to work by replacing your entire file contents with the result of running the yapf command. (This is expected functionality, as yapf is a code formatter.)
You should be able to go back simply by pressing u to undo the changes that the command you ran has made to your code.
quickfix window! See my edited answer for a solution that is more likely to work. If it doesn't work, then let me know what plugin or command you're using to invoke yapf from Vim.
:cclose?:lclosenor:cclosework for you).
