:set backupcopy=yes in vis equivalent #938

Closed jgarte closed 3 years ago

jgarte commented 3 years ago

What is the equivalent of vim's :set backupcopy=yes?

I ask because hot-module reloading is not working in vis with the default settings but it does work in vim with :set backupcopy=yes

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think I was able to figure it out by setting the following:

:set savemethod inplace

Would you say that this is equivalent to :set backupcopy=yes?

Hot-reloading seems to be working now with vis after setting :set savemethod inplace

Let me know if I should close this issue.

I believe it is, see text-io.c:386
