winshift.nvim VS undotree

winshift.nvim adds a "move windows around"-mode.

Check out winshift.nvim (https://github.com/sindrets/winshift.nvim) and combine it with hydra.nvim (https://github.com/anuvyklack/hydra.nvim | https://github.com/anuvyklack/hydra.nvim/wiki/Windows-and-buffers-management )

I tried the plugin Winshift to move windows around and put Aerial below Nvim-tree, and it works well!

Well, according to my experience by ctrl-w H|J|K|L I was able to adapt 4 window into whatever I wanted. Mostly it was enough for my workflow (since I'm also switching buffers or sometimes I'm using tabs) For more windows I occasionally use https://github.com/sindrets/winshift.nvim but it is only for neovim and I'm not aware of alternatives for pure vim.

Definitely gonna give this plugin a try! I would also recommend checking out winshift.nvim which adds a "move windows around" mode which is also way more intuitive than Vim's own way of moving windows around.

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.
