PLEASE RATE THIS PLUGIN, IF YOU LIKE IT! Feedback is always welcome. See :h histwin-feedback. You can now follow development of this plugin via github: http://github.com/chrisbra/histwin.vim Vim 7 has an amazing feature that is called undo-branches. See :h undo-tree. Unfortunalley it is a little bit clumsy to use. Therefore this plugin allows for easy navigation between the different undo-branches for a file. See this screenshot: http://www.256bit.org/~chrisbra/vim_undotree.png This plugin was inspired by the undo_branches plugin (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1997). This plugin allows you to - see all available undo-branches (Timestamps and Keywords) - tag certain states - switching to different states (including the first state (before any changes were made) - allow to diff the selected undo-branch with the current version - replay the changes (ok, this is just for fun ;) Open the UndoBrowse window by issuing :UB A new window will appear, which contains the name of the file you are watching a small help banner that contains the most important mappings for this window and a list of all available undo-branches (which shows the time when this change was made and your tags for that state, if there are any). On each entry you can press Enter or T to jump to that state or tag that state. This plugin maps the following keys: - 'Enter' on an entry jump to that state in time of the file - 'T' tags a state with a phrase. - 'R' lets you replay a change - 'I' opens/closes the help banner - 'Q' closes the window - CTRL-L reload view - D diff selected version
