Error when trying to quit with :xa

[JakeAdler]

Steps to reproduce:

• toggle term on
• toggle term off
• try to quit with :xa

Error:

E948: Job still running

From :h xa

:xa Write all changed buffers and exit Vim. If there are buffers without a file name, which are readonly or which cannot be written for another reason, Vim will not quit.

IMO that's expected. When you toggle the terminal. the terminal buffer stays in the background for reuse and the terminal buffer is a modified buffer. But you can't save the terminal buffer.

Because of this behavior, I am also force closing the terminal buffer.

FTerm.nvim/lua/FTerm/terminal.lua

Line 182 in 94e767f

api.nvim_buf_delete(self.buf, {force = true})

You can try to close (not toggle) the terminal and then try :xa.

I also encountered this. Not really an issue with fterm but curious to hear if anyone has some solution which doesn't involve manually closing the terminal buffer before wqa.

[AckslD]

Actually @numToStr how do you mean "close" the buffer? I tried both lua require('FTerm').close() and :q but neither help with wqa.

The confusing thing is that wa followed by qa works but not wqa.
