Vim `:noa` is a command that runs what you call without autocommands on. This
is typically used when you have some `BufWritePre` commands for formatting,
most auto formatters are implemented this way in vim. It can be super useful
if you have something like a yaml/json file that you have crafted perfectly how
you want it, maybe it has some source code for a small script or sql embeded
and your formatter wants to turn it into one line. You could get a better
formatter, but for these one off cases that aren't a big bother to me I run
`:noa w`.

``` vim
:noa w
```
