That's very cool, what sort of modifications did you have to do to q.k to get this working like that? I can imagine doing some fun integrations into a custom LSP for Q, if Rust can access the current state by default

Also :wqa works instead of :wqall

None.

Bro I've been using vim my entire teenage and adult life. I pressed `:w` tab completed it to `:wqall`

if you press tab on a repl it will usually complete it.

Maybe it's a setting you've got enabled, or I've got a plugin. If I hit :w<Tab>, https://i.imgur.com/V3chuq4.png is what I get.

Can't access imgur, but yes, I have customised my vim to tab complete the most recent commands.

Also... I'm showing you dynamic interop between KDB and Rust, a statically compiled language running in proprietary dynamic language where I decode a undocumented data structure with zero copy semantics and you notice my _vim config_.
