Hi,
Is there a way to retain the undo levels, even when the buffer is not
loaded in any windows/tabs? Right now, whenever I open another file in
a window, the previous file loses it's undo levels, even though it is
still inside the buffer list.
I /think/ the undo levels are by buffer. To undo the changes in one buffer,
first make that buffer active (e.g. by switching to its window or by
":edit"ing it in the current window).
If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.
No, if the buffer is no longer in any window, going back to it by
editing the file or selecting the buffer by any means will not bring the
undo levels. pressing 'u' will tell you that you are at the earliest
change. What I'm asking is whether it's possible to make vim remember
the buffer undo levels for each non-deleted buffer while vim is still
open.
Всего хорошего,
Тоня.
Ah, if it's no longer in any window _and_ not hidden but unloaded, then it
loses its undo levels. But you may either "hide" it, or (more to my taste)
keep it in a window which may (with :set winminheight=0) be collapsed to a
status line and nothing else; and then (IIUC) the undo levels will be kept.
I notice that even with the "true tabs" of Vim 7 available, I still use
"Rolodex Vim" a lot; it essentially consists of ":set winheight=99999
winminheight=0" (without the quotes of course). This way, the current window
expands to full height and all other windows are reduced to just a status line
at either top or bottom. Think of a Rolodex phone directory at the office.
Best regards,
Tony.
