Okay, leaving out \r as it is and changing only \p

Yeah, there's a lot of oversimplification in the docs for slash commands
--- for instance, I was just noticing yesterday that there's no mention
of the variant argum

1. \p ignores the "previous buffer". Example:
Yeah, I did that intentionally, thinking that the old behavior was
confusing. We can certainly discuss it though. I'd tend to agree
with your point that \p and \w should print the same thing, but
maybe neither of them should look at the previous_

Hello Daniel,
I've noticed two issues with the query buffer post-commit e984ef5

Hi,

(1 row)
postgres=# \p
Query buffer is empty.
That doesn't m
