Revision as of 14:24, 17 November 2010
To undo recent changes, use the undo command:
- u: undo last change (can be repeated to undo preceding commands)
- U: return the line to its original state (undo all changes in current line)
- Ctrl-R: Redo changes which were undone (undo the undos). Compare to '.' to repeat a previous change, at the current cursor position. Ctrl-R will redo a previously undone change, wherever the change occurred.
Note that (somewhat confusingly) U is undo-able with u.
