RE: Vim :: How To Disable Swap File for FileType

I change _vimrc to filetype text  as a test I.E. set ft=text and the swap file was still being created … However, I disabled my plugins and the autocmd worked … I’m of the impression there’s a conflict with subsequent filetype settings …

 

As such I decided on an alternative :: Saving the swaps into a dedicated directory …

 

IE. set dir=$HOME/_vimswap//,%TEMP%//,/%TMP%//,.

 

That will work for me …

 

Thanks Benjamin

This should work, the :help for 'swapfile' says:

        When 'swapfile' is reset, the swap file for the current buffer is
        immediately deleted.  When 'swapfile' is set, and 'updatecount' is
        non-zero, a swap file is immediately created.

Why do you think it's not working?

Maybe your "text" filetype isn't being detected? I didn't think there was such a filetype by default. What is the value of your filetype option in the file you're worried about?
