Hellu,

Does someone know how to configure vim that it doesn't create a file with
the same name and the "~" character at the end, when you edit a file ?
(quite enjoying euhhhh)

Why is this by the way ??

Regards,
Ed Bras

turn off backup? set nobackup? A wild guess.

Backups? Surely every editor since time immemorial has done that.
But my vim certainly doesn't .. it puts its safe copy in /var somewhere.
