# Breaking The Undo Sequence
|
|
|
|
Generally, the sequence of undo-able actions is segmented by command. When
|
|
entering Insert mode, everything typed until exiting Insert mode is part of
|
|
a single undo-able segment. If you are going to be typing in Insert mode for
|
|
a while though, you may want to break it up a bit. Without leaving Insert
|
|
mode, hit `ctrl-g u` to mark a break in the sequence of undos.
|
|
|
|
For example, starting in Normal mode and then typing
|
|
`iabc<CTRL-G>udef<CTRL-G>ughi<ESC>` will leave the buffer with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
abcdefghi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Hitting `u` once will leave the buffer with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
abcdef
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Hitting `u` again:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
abc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Hitting `ctrl-r`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
abcdef
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See `:h i_CTRL-G_u` for more details.
