Not breaking undo or repeat on auto-pair plugins like this is something that once had ugly hacks you could do to accomplish it. Delimitmate implemented these. But sometime right before 7.4 was released, a bug was fixed which made all those hacks not work anymore. I think they relied on setline() not breaking the undo sequence or something. I would really like to see an insert-mode command that would be like the inverse of <C-G>u which currently breaks the undo sequence manually. The new command would suppress breaking the undo sequence for the next command, so you could do something like ifunc()<C-G>U<Left>arg<Esc> to get a single change for undo/redo/repeat rather than 2 separate changes and a broken repeat. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
