Each time I save progress, vim creates another file. At the end, I have multiple files in addition to the original one. But it seems like it is not supposed to work that way?
It shouldn’t be that way at all. The normal way to save progress while you’re editing a file is to type :w followed by the Enter key. If you do this, Vim should write (or overwrite) the file on disk, resulting in a maximum of one file. (I’m ignoring the hidden temporary file.)
O I like these keys. Thank you
