Thanks Tony;
As for a temp backup I do agree so that vim can repair/replace a goof
instead of memory. I just get tired of removing file~ and finding out
that I needed to find the "~" keyy to complete it.
Thanks again and I will seeks out more use of vim help.
If you don't have a ~ key, or if it's hard to get on your national
keyboard (on my Belgian keyboard it's AltGr-equals followed by space),
you can have Vim display the directory (e.g., ":split ./" for the
current directory or ":split %:p:h" for the directory of the current
file) then move the cursor to the line with the backup filename,
(double-check that it's not the version you want to keep) and hit D
(i.e., shift-d).
see ":help pi_netrw.txt"
Best regards,
Tony.
