When I enter vim and open :terminal I want to :wq or :q without first having to switch to the terminal window and typing exit

Any autocmds for this? Can't seem to find any.

Note:

  • I have the terminal to launch in my .vimrc.
  • qa! etc, doesn't work either, I'll get an error any time I try to quit; 'job running' meaning the terminal.

What my vim looks like (for clarity)

vim

  • doesn't work, says "job running" meaning the terminal

    Try this: vim --clean "+term" "+qa!". It should exit immediately. If it doesn't, then there is a bug in Vim (my v0.9.57 exits immediately). But if it does work, then your vimrc is the culprit, which you can debug.

  • I could have that in my .vimrc as autocmd vimleave * vim --clean "+term" "+qa!", I'll try it, your vim looks ancient, I'm on vim8 :).

  • also tried with a .vimrc with only an autocmd for terminal and the autocmd above you suggested, and yes I sourced .vimrc, also tried on the terminal (outside vim)
