Vim creates swapfiles expressly to ease the process of recovering from problems. Whether they be the power going out while they were editing, or their system crashing (BSOD?), or even forgetting to close their Vim session and needing to do more work from a remote connection. Adding the ability to easily diff the recovered buffer against the on-disk file (the action recommended to the user) is a valid request. I've attempted to do so with vimscript, but so far haven't had much luck. Providing this option natively would make a lot of people's lives easier when they do have to deal with recovering from whatever adverse scenario caused the swap file to be left behind. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <james...@jamessan.com>
