Is it possible to prevent the browser tab from closing when I exit Vim?

[your-diary]

let g:mkdp_auto_close = 0 didn't work.

Wanted Behavior

• IS NOT: Even after exiting Vim, the server keeps running.

• IS: After exiting Vim, the server stops, but the browser tab remains intact (of course with no refreshing anymore).

Use-cases

I sometimes want to keep reading README.md or Markdown documentations even after closing Vim.

Yo!

Technically I don't think it's possible for this to happen as when you exit vim. The plugin shuts down--therefore the server running the markdown file closes as well.

Setting let g:mkdp_auto_close = 0 just makes sure that when your buffer changes to another file, the markdown preview will still be open. It's a different concept when exiting vim which is shut downs all plugins.

Hope that answers your question
