Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
While trying to recover .swp file after a hard shutdown, I looked up the
man page for the -r option. Then had trouble recovering the .swp
file because the relevant text in /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz says:
-r {file} Recovery mode. The swap file is used to recover a crashed
editing session. The swap file is a file with the same
filename as the text file with ".swp" appended. See ":help
recovery".
I suggest:
-r {file} Recovery mode. The swap file is used to recover a crashed
editing session. The swap file is a file with the same
filename as the text file, but with "." prepended, and
with ".swp" appended. See ":help recovery".
