Well, it's hardly elegant, but it's a quick hack that will work: Make a quickfixcmdpre autocmd that calls tempname() twice, touches the first name, and makes the second a link to it. Set 'makeef' to the second, vim writes through the link to the second one and then unlinks it, leaving the first. Hopefully. I haven't tested that that works, but hopefully it does... If I just wanted a quick hack so that I could use it and get back to work, that's what I'd try. ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
