Unlike the standard undo/redo system in - most software, it allows you to recover *any* past state of a buffer - (whereas the standard undo/redo system can lose past states as soon as you - redo). However, this power comes at a price: many people find Emacs' undo - system confusing and difficult to use, spawning a number of packages that - replace it with the less powerful but more intuitive undo/redo system. - - Both the loss of data with standard undo/redo, and the confusion of Emacs' - undo, stem from trying to treat undo history as a linear sequence of - changes. It's not. The `undo-tree-mode' provided by this package replaces - Emacs' undo system with a system that treats undo history as what it is: a - branching tree of changes. This simple idea allows the more intuitive - behaviour of the standard undo/redo system to be combined with the power of - never losing any history. An added side bonus is that undo history can in - some cases be stored more efficiently, allowing more changes to accumulate - before Emacs starts discarding history. - - The only downside to this more advanced yet simpler undo system is that it - was inspired by Vim. But, after all, most successful religions steal the - best ideas from their competitors! -</longdescription> -<stabilize-allarches/> -</pkgmetadata> |
