I'll put it in the todo list. However, don't expect it soon. I think the only right way to implement it is to do a diff between the buffer text and the file that is to be loaded. The difference would then be stored as a change in the undo buffer. > P.S. Persistent undo would be great too. :) That's already in the todo list. -- >From "know your smileys": :~) A man with a tape recorder up his nose /// Bram Moolenaar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
