Most application hooks into this, but it doesn't seem to work when using console vim. I suspect this might be because I'm launching it using urxvt: ```bindsym $mod+Shift+v exec urxvtc -e vim``` So.. Is there a way to let urxvt pipe the quit over to the console application that is open? EDIT: A fix is to use gvim rather than vim, just turning off all gui elements. This works as expected, although the question is still the same for all curses applications I guess. EDIT2: Setting some guioptions makes gvim look more like vim.

The problem isn't that vim isn't closed (it is), the problem is that there are no confirmation about unsaved buffers. So vim is just killed. I would rather have it worked like I typed ":q" in vim before trying to kill anything.Mon, 16 Dec 2013 12:46:16 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3068/console-vim-quitting-without-confirmation/?comment=3070#comment-3070Comment by simendsjo for <code>mod+shift+q</code> quits an application.

Setting some guioptions makes gvim look and behave much like vim, so I might just stick with that.Mon, 16 Dec 2013 13:21:30 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3068/console-vim-quitting-without-confirmation/?comment=3072#comment-3072Comment by cee for <code>mod+shift+q</code> quits an application.

Unfortunately no idea to solve this problem right now.

On my machine if I open vim from a normal urxvt, both programs (vim + urxvt) getting closed after pressing mod+shift+q.Mon, 16 Dec 2013 12:41:13 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3068/console-vim-quitting-without-confirmation/?comment=3069#comment-3069
