Re: Closing split-screen with :q

I find it disconcerting that when I'm in a split-screen, ":q" closes the OTHER window.  I assume that is because the behavior of the underlying VS operation called by ViEmu.  Could the ViEmu code be modified to first perform a ^W^W before invoking the close operation?

I assume it is also a VS limitation that only one split is allowed (which makes the above simple modification feasible).

Re: Closing split-screen with :q

Indeed, the single split is a VS limitation.

The problems with what :q closes are not easy to address. Even doing the calls that ViEmu does for ^W^W doesn't guarantee it, I remember trying it for the ^Wc and ^Wo commands and I couldn't effectively control which split got closed.

In any case, it's worth revisiting, and I will try to do so. What VS version are you using? It might make a difference.

Re: Closing split-screen with :q

I'm using VS2008 mainly, but I also run VS2005 (for SSAS/SSIS, so ViEmu isn't really relevant).

Re: Closing split-screen with :q

I'll try looking at this again and post back with the results (it will take a while though). Hopefully it's more tameable than the last time I tried.
