Vim is back with new goodies

Posted by Jorge Bernal September 21, 2006

Now including… the time machine, so you can keep track of all your mistakes

In Vim 7.0, a new feature has been included which allows a user to jump back or forward to any point of editing. For example, I am editing a document and after a couple of minutes (say 10 min), I realise that I have made a mistake. I can easily take the document to a point 10 minutes back by using the command :

:earlier 10m

Or for that matter, move to a point 5 seconds ahead by using the command:

:later 5s

Another interesting new features are live spell-checking, tabs, and smart completion.
