Why does vim create <filename>~ files? Is there a way to disable that? If it's for backup (or something), I use git for that. Also, these .<filename.with.path.hints>.swp files too. How do I tell vim not to create those, or at the least to cleanup after itself? EDIT whoops, duplicate: Why does Vim save files with a ~ extension? I adopted rogeriopvl's answer from there. verbatim copy: set nobackup "no backup files set nowritebackup "only in case you don't want a backup file while editing set noswapfile "no swap files
