My vimrc includes the following, so set the 'viminfo' option and also
to save the viminfo file when I "save my work" before leaving the
keyboard temporarily for any reason. You may of course pick and
choose. Caveat: all this is trated as a comment in Small and Tiny Vim
builds (which don't have expression evaluation).
if has('viminfo')
set vi='1000,!,%,c
" '1000 : save marks for up to 1000 files
" no f : also save all "file" marks, [0-9A-Z]
" ! : save variables whose name is /[A-Z][A-Z_]*/
" % : save and restore the buffer list
" c : convert the viminfo encoding if necessary
" no < : save all registers in full
if has('unix')
set vi+=r/mnt/
" save no marks for anything at /mnt/ and below
" (mount points for removable media)
endif " +unix
" use F3 to save all (incl. viminfo if supported)
map <F3> :wa<Bar>wv<CR>
map! <F3> <C-O>:wa<Bar>wv<CR>
else
map <F3> :wa<CR>
map! <F3> <C-O>:wa<CR>
endif " +viminfo
Best regards,
Tony.
