Undo in vimdiff
Benjamin R. Haskell
like to use vimdiff. As part of this, I noticed that 'u' for undo
doesn't revert a :diffput command. It makes sense, since the change
technically occurs in a different buffer, but I was wondering whether
anyone had a clever mapping or workaround for that.
Really the main thing I'm adding is to map both '>' and '<' to
':.diffput', so that < and > feel like pushing lines from one buffer
into another. So, I guess I'd also be open to generally-useful vimdiff
mappings.

Hm, something like this may be:
nmap <expr> u histget('cmd',-2)=~'diffput'?'<C-W>pu<C-W>p':'u'
This probably won't get all corner cases, only when the last entered
command was :diffput.

Oh, sounds interesting. Please share.
