feature request: :wq

Describe the feature

:wq currently behaves like :w. If the command was successful (the user presses [O]k), :wq should close Neovim as well.

Provide background

I genuinely might see myself using oil.nvim as a file manager replacement, and this would save a lot of time for quick operations.

Additional details

I added support for this. It's a bit of a hack, but it seems to work well enough. I'm a little concerned that there may be some unintended edge cases, so there's a chance I'll have to tweak this or roll it back.

I'm running into an edge case of this change that causes Neovim to close unexpectedly.

I have the following keymaps:
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>w', '<CMD>w<CR>', {})
vim.keymap.set('n', '-', '<CMD>Oil<CR>', {})

To reproduce:

1. Open Neovim.
2. Close Neovim with :x.
3. Open Neovim.
4. Open Oil with - keymap.
5. Create a file.
6. Save the buffer with <leader>w keymap.
7. Neovim closes.

This happens because commands run through keymaps are not inserted into the history table so the last command is still :x.

Thanks for all the work you do!

EDIT: I found a hack workaround for myself:

vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>w', function()
  vim.fn.histadd('cmd', 'w')
  pcall(vim.cmd.w)
end, {})

I'm using LunarVim and the default <leader>w doesn't play nice with oil. However, I found overwriting the default <leader>w fixes it.

vim.api.nvim_del_keymap('n', '<leader>w')
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', '<leader>w', ':w<CR>', { noremap = true, silent = true })
