Firefox feature available for VI?

Post by Todd_Z »

When firefox crashes, and restarts, you get that friendly little box asking if you want to restore the previous state of firefox before it crashed.

Is there a similar feature in VI? Sometimes my ubuntu box just restarts out of nowhere - logs say nothing about the matter :-\

Vi should store the unsaved files in a .failename.swp file which can then be recovered, is this not happening? If you're talking about restoring all your splits and screens then no, I don't think there is.

You can use :mksession command periodically.
