Let's say I do multi-file replace like 'argdo %s/foo/bar/g',
and I 'autowrite' and 'nohidden' options are set.
So the argdo will replace and write files, because of 'autowrite' is on.
My question is, is there any trick to do 'undo' after that that
would undo all changed files in this situation ?
I think given those conditions (autowrite and nohidden), there
seems to be no such way from my experimenting. However, if you
switch to using hidden instead of nohidden, you can do
:argdo u
which will undo the last action in each argument. I prefer to
use hidden and then, if I like the changes that went through,
issue a ":wall" to write the changed files. This allows the undo
as well as allowing me to proof that all the changes went through
as expected. If you set 'autowriteall' in addition to 'hidden',
you can get some of the benefits of 'autowrite' but still have
the recovery options of 'hidden'.
Just a few ideas...
