In case one closes the last tab in the VI-mode using the vi-commands, Kate quits. But when pressing Ctrl+w to close the last tab, Kate stays open as expected. This is due to the vi command parser in KTextEditor directly calling the `quit` method on the Kate app. Also, in the sessions we have an option "Close the application entirely when last file is closed". The expected behavior is that the vi-mode also follows this setting. I am already working on making the patches, but wonder if we need to have a way to quit the application entirely using the vi-commands.

Git commit ade545081b5b5b24ccfbdce8b4b02840a6cfc146 by Christoph Cullmann, on behalf of Alexander Lohnau. Committed on 28/06/2022 at 09:16. Pushed by alex into branch 'master'. AppCommands: Do not quit application when last document or all documents are closed This needs https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/merge_requests/758 in order to fix the bug. Without it, we would simply ignore the "Close the application entirely when last file is closed" setting if it is set to true. Though that is not mission-critical and IMHO less of a problem than the bug this commit fixes.
