From 2592ef74ab2eba57c32fe21993ce01e9698b106f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robin Haberkorn Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2025 23:25:48 +0100 Subject: fixup: renamed "backups" to "recovery files" * Other editors call "backup files" previous copies of saved files. This role would be served by savepoint files in SciTECO. * Likewise filename~ would point to such a backup file. It therefore makes sense that savepoint files also end in tildes (.teco-n-filename~). * Security copies of modified buffers would be called "auto-saves" (Emacs) or "swap files" (Vim). Both of these terms is IMHO misleading, so SciTECO now uses the term "recovery file". * "Recovery files" are now named #filename# just like in Emacs. --- README | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'README') diff --git a/README b/README index 4f3b7b5..d110285 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -73,7 +73,9 @@ Features This makes it even harder to destroy work by accident than in most other editors.
