I may not know vim (when I'm running Linux, I prefer to use EMACS as my editor... and shell, mailreader, browser, etc.) but I do know this is a Bad Idea. Unless you are using some thing for version control (e.g., SCCS, RCS, CVS, Source Integrity, or even yeccch Visual Source StrifeSafe), you will regret disabling that feature. Trust me.
If you really want to, though, I understand that the command is
:set nobackup nowritebackup
WHich I believe goes in your .vimrc file. There's apparently another way to st it, accorind to the VIM Reference Guide, using the command "writebackup off" somewhere, a but I'm too disinterested to follow up on it.
Not having tried this, I cannot assure the accuracy of these claims. This advice comes without warranty. UAYOR. |
