They aren't mentioned at ":help 'mod'", nor are they mentioned at their own respective ":help"s. (Bram, if this is the intended behavior, it should probably be documented at least at :h 'mod', and probably :h 'bomb' and :h 'fixeol'.) > I view the 'modified' flag as saying "if you save this buffer then the > file will change". > If that's what it means, the docs need to be fixed. > I got caught once while I was testing something where I had the wrong > password because I had quit Vim after changing the password, but I hadn't > saved yet.

If I haven't turned encryption on, so to speak, then setting &cm to "blowfish2" shouldn't set the modified flag. (For under this circumstance, the file will not change even if the buffer is saved). -Manny -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
