Ignore editor temp files

[pgaskin]

MR:post-3992019

• Nano: *.swp
• Vim: *~, *.swp, *.swo (it can also create more sequential extensions, but those aren't likely to happen anyways)
• Gedit: *~
• Emacs: *~, #*#

Any others?

[pgaskin]

I should probably also exclude OS-specific files too:

• macOS: .DS_Store*, .Spotlight-V*, ._*
• Windows: thumbs.db, Thumbs.db, desktop.ini

Kate does .${file}.kate-swp (i.e., besides the extension, it also makes it hidden).

[pgaskin]

I think I'll exclude all dotfiles, the Windows stuff, and stuff ending with .swp, .swo, ~ or #.

Wouldn't it have been easier to have a defined config format? Either a custom extension, and/or file signature?

Something like config.nm?

That was my original plan, but I realized it would be easier for Windows users if I allowed any extension (most don't know how to rename files to / save files under different extensions, and many don't even know files have extensions).
