Proposal: break undo for <C-u> about vim-sensible HOT 7 CLOSED

👍

from vim-sensible.

My stance is basically

• I think this is kinda helpful.
• I think inoremap <CR> <C-G>u<CR> is awesome.
• I can't really get away with remapping <CR> in this plugin.
• I don't really want to provide the kinda-helpful part without the awesome part.

Hm. I see it differently.

• Mapping CR makes editing easier. (It doesn't prevent much lost data because CR is additive.)
• Mapping C-u makes screwing up harder. (It prevents data loss because C-u is subtractive: you either lose the data from cursor to beginning of line or lose what you wrote before C-u.)

You might have a point. I'll give it a try.

Would it make sense to put a link right before that line? I had to search for it, I imagine many others do as well.

Link to what? I'd lean towards a terse inline explanation if anything.

How do we feel about the ticket message as a terse inline explanation:

CTRL-U in insert mode deletes a lot. Use CTRL-G u to first break undo, so that you can undo CTRL-U without undoing what you typed before it.
