Doctor Strange did a specific kind of time travel in a Marvel movie that I want in vim. He did it to an apple, but not the surrounding area. I would like to be able to highlight a selection in vim and just do time travel in that part, so that my changes elsewhere are not reverted. Does that exist?


It exists in emacs. Blew my mind when I first saw it!


What's the feature called?



I've been looking for this in a code editor for so long. I just want to undo inside a specific set of lines, is that so hard?


Right? Ever since I learned it exists in emacs I’ve been frustrated that this isn’t the top priority in every other editor!
