I didn't explain very well. This should clarify:

I usually work with one primary Vim open with multiple files in the buffers list.
Sometimes I will also temporarily open a few text files from the file manager, each file opened in its own Vim.
Then I quickly close all the temporary Vims by clicking the x in the top-right corner.
But sometimes I unintentionally close the primary Vim with the many files in the buffers list.
Then I have to reopen Vim and reopen all the files I was working on.
Is there a way to stop me from unintentionally closing Vim when the buffer list contains multiple files, like a configuration or plugin that prompts "Multiple files in buffers list, are you sure you want to close Vim?"

Some session managers give such a warning message.
But I don't want a session manager, I just the warning message.

I use ":source .fileList" to open groups of files that are frequently opened.
But that doesn't help when I close Vim with a one-off group of buffers.
