Thanks for this one: "Store temporary files in a central spot Swap files and backups are annoying but can save you a lot of trouble. Rather than spreading them all around your filesystem, isolate them to a single directory"

set backupdir=~/.vim/backup// set directory=~/.vim/swp// If you end your settings with double trailing // then vim will automatically use the full path to the file so editing /etc/X11/x.org and ~/x.org won't clobber each other in your swap directory.
