ctrlp.vim VS undotree

But I mostly use ctrlp when I work with projects. A can recommend vim-ripgrep too, it lets you find strings/patterns in your project files.

You may find something like ctrlp useful. Some sort of fuzzy definition search.

My basic vim workflow is that I open vim, which opens NerdTree for me by default. I can find the file I want in NerdTree, or I can hit Ctrl+p to open a file with fuzzy searching.

I'd personally suggest ctrlp.vim: https://github.com/ctrlpvim/ctrlp.vim

ctrlp.vim - Fuzzy File Opener (req)

There's also some relevant plugins: - ctrlpvim/ctrlp.vim: Active fork of kien/ctrlp.vim—Fuzzy file, buffer, mru, tag, etc finder. - vijaymarupudi/nvim-fzf: A Lua API for using fzf in neovim. - nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim: Find, Filter, Preview, Pick. All lua, all the time. - gelguy/wilder.nvim: A more adventurous wildmenu

I have set the line let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 'r' and according to the GitHub repo it should allow Ctrl-P to do its searches in the whole project I'm in but it doesn't. It stop at the files opened by Neovim. Did I misunderstood the purpose of the plugin, or a I doing something wrong ?

i use ctrlp.vim

CtrlP

What's helped me much more lately is undotree for vim [1]. It basically logs every single time a file is saved. Its much more useful because commits have to be made by humans and they may not do it often (and usually there is an incentive for "clean or working commits"). There have been many times where I went back to copy something from the undotree.

Hi, I love Vim, and use it for big projects too, with many files. Often I switch between many files, make changes, undo, and get lost in them, trying to find a file that I edited and undoed a few minutes ago. I think, maybe exists some plugin, that will visualize my history of changes, like UndoTree, but across multiple buffers? And/or list of my teleportations between buffers? I can imagine this, also like a tree...

The plug-in could be found here

undotree

undotree: tree like visualization of undo history

Install undo tree and your life turns into a choose your own adventure story.

> I really hate autosave. I like using saving like a checkpoint where i have the ultimate undo button by ditching the unsaved changes.

Although I don't use autosave, I don't think it matters that much with vim because you can always use undotree[0]

I finally got around to clear up the vague notions I had about the `g+` and `g-` commands which I knew helped me jump to across branches but was never exactly sure how. With the help of undotree module, it is now crystal clear what the difference was between `u` and `g-` and between `` and `g+` are.

Vim has a plugins for that too. ;)

I use https://github.com/mbbill/undotree but if that's not to your choice there are many others.
