Use W as alias for w in command mode

[nuke-web3]

While waiting for a solution to create custom commands and/or command aliases #4423 (comment) I propose that W (unused) would be an alias for w in the command pallet.

FAR too often I type :W (shift held down) instead of :w. So much I am considering dropping using the editor as I need to first save to do other tasks/run commands that need the file saved.

Same could be for Q and q too, as all too often I get the same issue for the same reason

Not keen on the idea myself, perhaps try:

[keys.normal.space]
w = ":write"

I played around with some options for a while and settled on the above as the best, very fast.

That is a good suggestion, thanks!

Why do you not want the mapping (at least optionally) for the command mode itself? Using it for something else?

Every key is precious, and w W seems redundant... just practice touch typing a bit more :) I use https://github.com/lemnos/tt

In Helix the capital version of keys always have another related command.

I agree I don't think an alias is necessary here.
