I have some slow network shares, so I gave this idea a try to prevent using them for swap files. It seems successful so far, but beware of the crash I observed here: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/vim_dev/ZcJEKqNsVRI/discussion Here's the code I came up with: " Make slow network shares on Windows prefer not to use the file's directory " for swap files if has('win32') set noswapfile autocmd BufReadPre * setlocal noswapfile autocmd BufEnter {Z,U,W}:{/,\\}* set dir-=. dir+=. " nested autocmd to enable swap files so SwapExists autocmds fire, too autocmd BufEnter * nested setlocal swapfile autocmd BufLeave {Z,U,W}:{/,\\}* set dir-=. dir^=. endif -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
