Wintabs has a handful of configuration options, see `:help wintabs-options` for
details.

## Overriding wq/q/q!

If you want `wq`, `q`, and `q!` to close the current buffer, without closing the
other buffers, add this to your `.vimrc`:

```vim
" Function to replace built in commands
" Taken from: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Replace_a_builtin_command_using_cabbrev
function! CommandCabbr(abbreviation, expansion)
execute 'cabbr '
\. a:abbreviation
\. ' <c-r>=getcmdpos() == 1 && getcmdtype() == ":" ? "'
\. a:expansion
\. '" : "'
\. a:abbreviation
\. '"<CR>'
endfunction

function! SaveAndCloseCurrentBuffer()
:w
call wintabs#close()
endfunction

call CommandCabbr('q', 'call wintabs#close()')
call CommandCabbr('q!', 'call wintabs#close()') " NOTE: Still asks for confirmation if not saved
call CommandCabbr('wq', 'call SaveAndCloseCurrentBuffer()')

" Automatically close tabs to make wq/q/q! behave more normally
let g:wintabs_autoclose_vim = 1
let g:wintabs_autoclose_vimtab = 1
let g:wintabs_autoclose = 2
```
