Save and run at the same time in Vim

Question

I do a lot of Python quick simulation stuff and I\'m constantly saving (:w) and then running (:!!). Is there a way to combine these actions?

Maybe a "save and run&qu

Answer 1

This will work in insert mode too:

" F5 => Save & Run python3 "
nnoremap  :w  :!sh -c 'python3 %' 
inoremap   :w  :!sh -c 'python3 %' 

I use it all the time to test stuff that is just too long to retype in the interpreter.
