I think the problem originally was, that sudo preserved your $HOME environment variable, which may or may not be what you want but this lead to the .viminfo file being owned by root. (sudo -i should prevent that, by the way). There are several bug reports about it, here are 2 that I randomly googled: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/58002 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/93449 BTW, instead of sudo -e I usually use sudoedit. regards, Christian -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
