Description

Summary (required)

Users need to close each window manually which are created by :Gita diff, :Gita patch, or :Gita chaperone for now.

The partner window of the main window should be closed automatically. But how?

  • BufWinLeave is close but it is not triggered when the main buffer is opened in another window as well.
  • Closing buffer in some autocmd raise (critical) exceptions
  • How to cancel closing when user cancel closing in "there is a change, do you want to dicard?" message or whatever.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate BufWinLeave and other autocmd events to detect when the main window is closed. Handle cases where the buffer is open in multiple windows. Ensure safe buffer deletion to avoid exceptions. Consider using 'confirm' to handle unsaved changes.
