:wqa is the same as :xa and is probably easier to remember

  Are you sure? IIRC :x only writes the file again if there's a change where :w(q) always writes again (which takes longer when editing a remote file via scp://). For a non-exiting version of :x there is :up. I bound :up to <leader>fs after I learned about it. I used to have :w on the same keybind so it was a straight upgrade. Now I can just quick hit it at any time and there's no waiting around if the file hadn't changed. Saves some time and annoyances.

    Yes, through ":help wqa" which lists it as such and double checking with a quick test. It doesn't write unchanged files, same as :xa instead of being an exact "all" version of :wq

What does the :P command do? /s
- nthdeui 1y ago
  :P :Print :[range]P[rint] [count] [flags] Just as ":print". Was apparently added to Vi for people that keep the shift key pressed too long... This command is not supported in Vim9 script. Note: A user command can overrule this command. See ex-flags for [flags].

Noooooooo! Make some key bindings. Bind leader to space, and make a leader mapping for writing to the file, and another mapping to quit. Avoid chords.

That is what I do. I thought I was the only genius.
