### Securing Your Editor

Various editors may store temporary files outside of the secure working directory when editing secrets. We advise you to check and disable this behavior for your editor of choice.

For `vim` on Linux, the following setting may be helpful:

```
au BufNewFile,BufRead /dev/shm/gopass.* setlocal noswapfile nobackup noundofile
```

For MacOS consider this setting:

```
au BufNewFile,BufRead /private/**/gopass** setlocal noswapfile nobackup noundofile
Various editors may store temporary files outside of the secure working directory when editing secrets.
We advise you to check and disable this behavior for your editor of choice.

Here are a few useuful example settings:

```vim
" neovim on Linux
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead /dev/shm/gopass* setlocal noswapfile nobackup noundofile shada=""
" neovim on MacOS
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead /private/**/gopass** setlocal noswapfile nobackup noundofile shada=""
" vim on Linux
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead /dev/shm/gopass* setlocal noswapfile nobackup noundofile viminfo=""
" vim on MacOS
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead /private/**/gopass** setlocal noswapfile nobackup noundofile viminfo=""
