Cannot :confirm quit/bd/etc a terminal buffer

[HarmtH]

Describe the bug Cannot :confirm quit/bd/etc a terminal window

To Reproduce Detailed steps to reproduce the behavior:

vim --clean<cr>
:term<cr>
<c-\><c-n>:confirm quit<cr>

Current behaviour Save changes to "!/bin/bash"? When chosen 'yes': E676: No matching autocommands for acwrite buffer When chosen 'no': Nothing happens When chosen 'cancel': Nothing happens

Expected behaviour When chosen 'yes': E382: Cannot write, 'buftype' option is set
When chosen 'no': Same behaviour as :quit!/bd!/etc! When chosen 'cancel': Nothing happens

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Vim version: 8.2.814

When using :confirm qa, Vim doesn't want to save but Vim wants to kill: Kill job in "!/bin/bash"? Answering 'yes' to that question does work.

I suppose this should not really be an option.

When chosen 'no': Nothing happens

This should probably behave like "quit!".

When chosen 'cancel': Nothing happens

That's OK.

Expected behavior

The question should also be different, there is nothing to save.

I think the 'Kill job' question would indeed be better, except for finished jobs.

I suppose the intended way to quit a terminal is Ctrl + D. Though I agree that converting to normal mode -> :confirm q should be able to work too, for consistency.
