I often use sessions to edit and track files in a project. I almost always type :q when I'm done working and end up closing the buffer I was last working on when what I want to do is close all buffers and quit vim.

Is there a native way to close all buffers of a session with a single command rather than just the active buffer?

You can use:

:qa

for quit all or

:qa!

The later forces to quit Vim even if some buffer modifications have nor been saved.
