Change location of vim yankring history file

Question

The yankring plugin for Vim creates a file in my home directory called yankring_history_v2.txt. How do I tell the plugin to store this file in another location?

Answer 1

Yankring looks for a variable called yankring_history_dir to know where to store this file. Add the following line to your .vimrc:

let g:yankring_history_dir = 'path/to/history/dir'
