-If you've been an OpenBSD user for any period of time, you probably
-know what =mg= is. For those who don't know, =mg= stands for
-MicroGnuEmacs. It's a small clone of Emacs maintained by the OpenBSD
-team that's included with the base system.
-
-Being an Emacs user, I love that =mg= is part of the OpenBSD base
-system. It's great to have an editor that has familiar keybinds on a
-system that I haven't had the time to install any packages on. It also
-has (in my opinion), more useful features than =vi=, like =auto-fill-mode=
-and =dired=.
-
-Despite all of the excellent things it emulates from Emacs, it also
-emulates a couple behaviours from Emacs that I find a little
-annoying. One of those behaviours is leaving backup files everywhere
-when editing. Backup files have the original file name, with a tilde
-appended to the end. So if you're editing =pf.conf=, =mg= will
-automatically create a backup file called =pf.conf~= in the same
-directory.
-
-Backup files can be incredibly useful if you same a mistake while
-editing and you want to see what the original file looked like, but
-after a while of editing files, seeing your =/etc/= littered with
-files ending in =~= can be a little annoying.
-
-Fortunately the creators of =mg= are aware of this issue and have
-provided a way to deal with it.
-
-Edit the =.mg= in your home directory, or create it if it doesn't
-exist. Then add the following line
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC
-backup-to-home-directory
-#+END_SRC
-
-That's it. Now =mg= will still create backup files, but it will save
-them to =~/.mg.d/= instead of the directory of the file you're
-editing. It saves the file as the full path to the original file, with
-the forward slashes replaced by exclamation marks. So if you were
-editing =/etc/pf.conf=, the backup file will be saved as
-=~/.mg.d/!etc!pf.conf~=.
