I was thinking about 'a, 'b, etc. included with the ' item in viminfo, but also file marks. I don't like that these can be overwritten by old data. Actually the same can apply to any data in .viminfo, including global variables and the buffer list. I'm sure all of these are annoying to some people. For me, the most annoying is when I lose modified register content due to exiting open Vim sessions in the wrong order. I don't care as much about marks. I hardly care at all about history or global variables or the buffer list. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
