Try http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#KWBD. Use :Kwbd
instead of :q . If you want :wq, then use :w prior to calling :Kwbd.
(kill window and buffer delete). You may want to use maps to have :wq
and :q actually use :Kwbd instead.

:Kwbd will use enew to make a new but empty buffer in the stead of the
window's prior contents.
