Use global swap files directory about fisa-vim-config HOT 5 CLOSED

nice!
Before adding it, are you sure the "directory" setting does not affect anything else? just the .swp files?
Because the name sounds too generic :)

I think that the name is an unlucky choice. I had the same doubts in the past... But as far as I've used it, it seems to work as the documentation says:

List of directory names for the swap file, separated with commas.
from http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html#%27directory%27

I've made some changes in how I use and set dirs, you may be intrested on that

set directory=~/.vim/dirs/tmp     " directory to place swap files in
set backup                        " make backup files
set backupdir=~/.vim/dirs/backups " where to put backup files
set undofile                      " persistent undos - undo after you re-open the file
set undodir=~/.vim/dirs/undos
set viminfo+=n~/.vim/dirs/viminfo

" Create needed directories if they don't exist
if !isdirectory(&backupdir)
    call mkdir(&backupdir, "p")
endif
if !isdirectory(&directory)
    call mkdir(&directory, "p")
endif
if !isdirectory(&undodir)
    call mkdir(&undodir, "p")
endif

Added in the develop branch. If everything goes well, will do a release in a few days. Thanks for the code! :)

Glad to help, your work gave a lot of good tips when I was starting, so thanks to you too :).

An extra tip that may be helpful... In order to contain every possible vim-related thing inside my ~/.vim/ dir I've moved the yankring file too.

let g:yankring_history_dir = '~/.vim/dirs/'

Oh, and added you on the thanks section :)
