I'm trying to find a good way to remap control+U in insert-mode
so that it begins an undo-block. There are times when type
control+U in insert-mode and it doesn't do what I intend, or I
want to undo it, only to find that an "u"ndo doesn't solve the
problem. I know that transitioning out of insert-mode (via <esc>
or <c-o>) will mark a point in the undo-stack. However, I don't
really want to be in insert mode. I've tried the following:
inoremap <c-u> <c-o><esc><c-u>
This does a funky beep/flash (depending on VB settings) and
doesn't behave quite like I would have expected it to.
inoremap <c-u> <c-o><nop><c-u>
This gives me a crazy
"E486: Pattern not found: insert"
which, I haven't searched for the word "insert" so this one makes
me scratch my head. Bug perhaps? Vim-internals showing through?
Have I overlooked some setting that I couldn't find in undo.txt?
Or does anyone else have a good suggestion on how to tag a
control+U in insert-mode so that it alone can be undone?
Hello Tim,
I am not sure I understand you right, but do you mean somthing like
<c-g>u in insert mode ? (:help i_CTRL-G_u):
:imap <c-u> <c-g>u
?
:help i_CTRL-G_u
CTRL-G u>.......break undo sequence, start new change>.. *i_CTRL-G_u*
