So it seems to me that it would be interesting, sometimes, to be able to type some colon-mode command and see the whole stack of undo and redo commands and your current position.
At current position ? Sounds too restrictive to me. If I wanted to see summary of changes, the I'd prefer to see all changes per file, not "per current position". (And it's easier to show, too.) What if the change is in same line but not at current position ? Then it's not shown ? I have serious doubts about usefulness of this show. What if the change was in nearby lines ? I'd prefer report of all changes, not just per single position. And it might be difficult to keep track of what exactly was current position before many changes. I mean, what is line 181 now, was different line number before some changes. Did you look at :undolist in vim7 ? Yakov
I mean, most commands can be represented fairly readably... you might imagine using comments for things that aren't reflected in the command itself, like the cursor position or any deleted text. Something like :lsundo 1. dw " word=blah position=181,1 >2. iTyped Something Here<Esc> " position=181,1 3. Icommand I just undid<Esc> " position=181,1 So, in summary, my question is (a) is there anything like that already, and (b) how might I go about building something like that if it doesn't exist and yet just happens to be extremely easy to build?
