Switching buffers on write...

[Sonny Chee]

Hey Guys,

I suspect this question has been asked and answered before but I haven't found any relevant answers.

I would like to map the command:

:w new_filename

to do the following two things

:w new_filename
:e new_filename

I thought I would implement this with an autocmd on the BufFilePost event. My challenge is how to access the new_file_name value. I checked the help docs on registers but didn't see anything relevant there....

Is there a reason not to use ":saveas" which does just that (without
losing your undo history, jump-lists, folds, etc)?

Cool. I know that sometimes folks know about things but just want a
fast/easy way to get to it. In this case, ":sav" might be more
characters than you want to type if you do it regularly, so I didn't
know if you wanted some sort of ":command" created to make it
shorter. Glad vim met your needs :-)
