I re-read the man page (this time all the way through) and realised that most of this part of my answer didn't make sense in the context of vis. Here's a revised comment. So currently `X` is more like vim's `windo`. I use `bufdo` more often, but there are no background buffers in vis so the situation is a bit different. Your use case (closing all the windows) can actually be achieved by cycling through the buffers and using the `:bdelete` command. This works because `q` has a special version that applies to all the windows of the same buffer. This shows a few possible alternatives: - All appropriate commands have two distinct version: one for window, one for buffer. - A wrapper function toggles between the different behaviours (similar to the `:vertical` command in vim). - A prefix or suffix to these commands toggles between the different behaviours (similar to the `!` suffix to toggle behaviour of some functions). The functions that would be affected: q/delete, earlier/later, map-window/unmap-window. Any other? Cheers, -- ______________ Raphaël Proust
