I would also need such a feature. I will often either hold down 'u' or use :earlier 24h or whatever, to return to the state of the buffer when I started editing. I do think that purging the undo history could be useful in some situations. If it is complicated to do (using a function as shown in this thread), we should probably put an example of how to do it in the :help or add a command to do it. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
