I have a file-watcher system which triggers some compilations upon time-stamp changes in the source file I am editing. I have the obsessive habit of using :w quite a few times during my editing session.
Is there a way to remap :w to :up ?

I had added below in my .vimrc earlier based on this post.
cnoreabbrev <expr> w getcmdtype() == ":" && getcmdline() == 'w' ? 'up' : 'w'
Alternatively, there is a plugin which does this too.
Hope this helps.

1I prefer
gecmdline() =~ '^w$'. This way when you typewin the middle of the command (like when you're calling a window-local variablew:var) it won't expand. – Tumbler41 Jun 7 '18 at 14:03
