Undoable file reload
Hi, For a long time now, I have been using Vim alongside VisualStudio by doing all my editing in Vim and compiling and debugging in VS. If I save a file in Vim and it is open in VS, VS asks me if I want to reload, and I say yes. I know some people would find working this way clumsy, but I actually have no problem with it. Now I am starting to use Eclipse for Java, and I am very impressed with all the conveniences it provides in terms of completing and creating code, and I am considering a mode of about half Eclipse and half Vim, using Vim for regular text-editing tasks and Eclipse for its code completion, etc. The problem is that if I save something from Eclipse and then reload the file in Vim, I lose all my undos to that point. What I would like is the possibility to undo the reload itself, and I'm considering implementing this at the Vim code level. I have two questions: 1)Does this or something similar already exist, and I'm just missing it? 2)If not, is it doable, and what would I have to change? I suppose I would want this to be some kind of option, like :set undoablereload, say, so that the default functionality would still be available. Thanks very much.

I just tried this in Vim 7.4 and I see that :set undoreload is already there as of 7.3! Sorry for bothering you! -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!

I'm very happy with the C/C++ features, but I actually understand the java support is even better. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
