# Buffer Time Travel
|
|
|
|
Vim allows you to go to an *earlier* text state for a buffer with
|
|
`:earlier`. For instance, if you want to see the state of the buffer from 10
|
|
minutes ago:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:earlier 10m
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Similarly, you can move back toward the present text state of the buffer
|
|
with `:later`. If 10 minutes earlier was too far, you can come back 5
|
|
minutes like so:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:later 5m
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
I encountered these in [Nick Nisi's 'Vim +
|
|
Tmux'](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r6yzFEXajQ) talk.
