:emacs undo

Smart, persistent undo for your inevitable mistakes

1. Description

This module augments Emacs’ built-in undo system to be more intuitive and to persist across Emacs sessions.

1.1. Maintainers

1.2. Module flags

+tree
Uses undo-tree instead of undo-fu, which is a little less stable, but offers branching undo history and a visualizer for navigating it.

1.4. Hacks

  • Both undo-fu and undo-tree have been modified to use zstd to compress undo history if it is available.
  • undo-tree only
    • Text properties are stripped from undo history to shrink it.
    • Undo-tree is too chatty about saving its history files; this has been silenced. It will still be logged to \*Messages\*, but won’t appear in your minibuffer.
  • unfo-fu only
    • Doom defines undo-fu-mode to make it easier to add hooks/mode-local keybinds.

4.1. Disabling persistent undo history

  • If you are using +tree:

    (after! undo-tree
      (setq undo-tree-auto-save-history nil))
    
  • If you aren’t:

    (remove-hook 'undo-fu-mode-hook #'global-undo-fu-session-mode)
