In many cases I have one spare window which contains garbage and when I am in my main window, I'd like to close all other (with <C-W>o), but I am getting E445 for those that are not saved.
Is there a relatively sort key combination that can close all other saved and not saved windows?

If you want to dispose of the unpersisted buffers right away, you'd need to write a custom function that iterates over all visible buffers and :bdelete!s them.



However, I think it's better to postpone the problem until Vim is eventually closed. This behavior is built-in via the :help 'hidden' option.



If you don't want to set this permanently, you could just temporarily set it (I'm using the upper-case O key to avoid overriding the original mapping; you could also use the alternative <C-o>):



:nnoremap <C-w>O :set hidden<CR><C-w>o:set nohidden<CR>


That's ugly, we can use :wincmd to make a single, concatenated command-line:



:nnoremap <C-w>O :set hidden<Bar>wincmd o<Bar>set nohidden<CR>


But wait, there's a special :only command that does the same:



:nnoremap <C-w>O :set hidden<Bar>only<Bar>set nohidden<CR>


And reading the documentation, this takes an optional ! to force hiding without having to set the option. I think that's a winner:



:nnoremap <C-w>O :only!<CR>

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
