Twice recently I've failed to properly recover crashed Vim sessions because I've followed this sequence of steps:
# after crash $ vi somefile # Message about found swap file # respond with 'R' for recover ZZ - to save and quit $ vi somefile # Message about found swap file # respond with 'D' to delete the swap file, # since I just saved the recovered version # ...except it wasn't saved My question is: Why isn't the file considered to be 'modified' after it's changed by the recovery process? (Hence the 'ZZ' fails to save it.) -- Best, Ben -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
