Strange undo behavior about vim-multiple-cursors HOT 11 CLOSED

This should be resolved in #22. Could you make sure that you're using the latest version of the plugin?

from vim-multiple-cursors.

Hi, I am noticing in my gundo plugin undo history that there are now large amounts of empty undo changes.

From what it looks like when we move a multi-select in "normal mode", all the scripting that goes on seems to inject many many undo states.

Awesome awesome plugin by the way.

how about making use of this: https://github.com/tpope/vim-repeat
would that work?

@FunTimeCoding Are you suggesting that vim-repeat might address the problem with the creation of too many undo states? (I have my doubts...)

from vim-multiple-cursors.

yes, when multiple steps get grouped as one action the multiple cursors plugin does - this allows to undo them in one action?

what are your doubts?

if you think it'll work, by all means! I don't use this plugin anymore,
it's got a mind if it's own.

do you have anything similar?

On my Macbook I have gone back to sublime (but now using Vintage mode). Sublime has a much more capable JSON configuration system for bindings, which actually allow you to configure a finite state machine in the editor. This means any behavior and state transition system you may want is possible there. That's off topic, of course, because multiple cursors is a primary feature of ST.

For regular vim use which is what I exclusively use at my day job, I usually use a combination of n and . to perform repeated edits. It's a lot less scary than trying to edit many cursors (which you can't really even see due to the absence of a minimap).

n and . is just a generally better approach. For example I've been using Xcode a lot lately too, and the XVim plugin can also handle the n . approach of editing stuff (though I would really be using the Xcode refactor/replace commands which is even nicer).

I see. well thank you. Im just trying to get more into ninja plugins like this one to see if it can actually be applied usefully (by me).

from vim-multiple-cursors.

Yes, I totally dont mean to knock on this Vim plugin! It is marvelous and about as ninja as Vim plugins can get, so much kudos are in order for @terryma for sure.

It's just that if something isn't rock-stable for me I'm gonna settle for something else. There are a ton of different vim builds. It's probably even a problem with my setup. shrug
