cmdline regex ques

[M Kelly]

Hi,

Does anyone know what would be the vim regex for getcmdline() =~ for both 'q' and 'q!' ?

ie, something like:

cnoreabbrev <expr> q  (getcmdtype() == ':' && getcmdline() =~ '\s*q\s*$') ?  'call Quit()' : 'q'

cnoreabbrev <expr> q! (getcmdtype() == ':' && getcmdline() =~ '\s*q!\s*$') ? 'call QuitBang()' : 'q!'

But this clearly isn't right because the q! cmd is picked up by the q here.

I think we need an exact match on the string between whitespace ?

thx for everything vim,

Hi,

I guess it evaluates as I type ?  So no real way around this.

Perhaps a cmap <CR> could trigger a cmdline substitution ?

Maybe there is such a plugin already.

thx,

Hi,

I was able to use the 'Konfekt/vim-alias' plugin for this -

:Alias q call\ Quit()

:Alias q! call\ QuitBang()

thx again everyone,
