There are multiple reports of the same issue. Opening yet another one to group and link together to try and avoid needing to read them all: ## Problem Standard quit directive does not work and odd message shows up: :q! Quickest test case: 1. start `pyvim` (no files) 2. issue help, `:help` 3. Attempt to quit with, `:q!`, will see `1 more files to edit` ## Workaround issue: :qa Can also save but most people just want to quit without save. ## Related * https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/pyvim/issues/112 * https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/pyvim/issues/3 * https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/pyvim/issues/19 * Pull request / fix https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/pyvim/pull/125
