Turning off the ability to enter recording mode. I still occasionally type :Q instead of :q and I’d like that to also quit...or even to just no-op.

Any tips on how to just rip recoding mode completely out of my vim?

nnoremap Q <nop>

removes the recording mode and throws a simple error when you use :Q instead of :q

command! Q q

will make :Q behave like :q
