vim Enhanced undo and redo with a undodir Configuring your vimrc to use a undodir
Example
Since vim version 7.3 the feature 'persistent_undo' is supported, which makes it possible do undo/redo changes, even after closing vim or restarting your computer.
It's possible to configure it by adding the following to your vimrc, but first create a directory, where your undofiles should be saved. You can create the file anywhere, but I recommend using the ".vim" directory.
if has('persistent_undo') "check if your vim version supports
set undodir=$HOME/.vim/undo "directory where the undo files will be stored
set undofile "turn on the feature
endif
After adding this to your vimrc and sourcing the vimrc again, you can use the feature by using the basic undo/redo commands
