The Exit command is identical to clicking File then Exit and exits vEdit after prompting whether each modified buffer (file) is to be saved or abandoned.
- Exit
- Prompt whether each buffer is to be saved or abandoned. Then exit vEdit.
To save all files and exit quickly without any prompts, use the Xall( ) command. It is equivalent to clicking File then Exit followed by selecting Save all.
- Xall
- Save all files without prompting and then exit.
Xall( ) does not save modified buffers that have no assigned filename, whereas Exit( ) will prompt for the filename. as a precaution, Xall( ) will prompt for a filename if the main buffer "1" has no assigned filename.
If you want to quit (abandon) all files and exit, use the Qall( ) command. It is equivalent to clicking File then Exit followed by selecting Quit all.
- Qall
- Quit (abandon) all files and exit, it prompts for confirmation.
- Qally
- Quit (abandon) all files and exit without confirmation.
Think of the "Y" in Qally( ) as answering "Yes" to the confirmation prompt. Use it with caution!
