LOL.
Me too.
Well, I just wanted to add that I use also:
" Prevent .swp creation in current directory
set directory=/tmp
Nice hint.
You guys must be on more reliable systems than me ;-) In the last
couple of weeks I have several times had vim hang on my server, and
rather more times I've lost the network (nothing in the logs, but
seems to be related to 4.0+ kernels - both stable and rc) while
editing my notes using nfs. I'm very friendly with vim's .swp files,
I would not want to put them in /tmp.
I've been away from the 4.0 kernel for a couple of weeks, but I douple that
really causes vim to hang. I don't use nfs on a regular basis though.
In any case I do find myself rebooting and since I generally work over ssh,
there are several sesions open. If I forget that there is an open vim session
when rebooting, that leaves a .swp file. Putting it in /tmp allows me to find
it easily if I need to, generally just to delete it.
Note that I do not automatically delete everything in /tmp on boot.
