Re: Auto save backup file for unsaved buffer?

That doesn't work to unsaved buffer, will write copy to backup file only when save to original file.

For example ("backup", "backupdir" already set in vimrc file.):

First, open a new buffer, write something.

Now there will be a temporary swap file in the swap directory, just like .swp

Then delete this buffer, choose dot not save buffer.
The swap file will disappear, no backup or undo file created or left.

The plugin/feature I'm searching for is that it can generate another type of backup file for unsaved buffer, like another permanent and readable swap file.

So you can still get regret pill after exit without saving a temporary file.
