52 * Set up the flags so that an immediately subsequent 'u' will roll
53 * forward, instead of backward. In historic vi, a 'u' following a
54 * 'U' redid all of the changes to the line. Given that the user has
55 * explicitly discarded those changes by entering 'U', it seems likely
56 * that the user wants something between the original and end forms of
57 * the line, so starting to replay the changes seems the best way to
58 * get to there.

84 * In historic vi, 'u' toggled between "undo" and "redo", i.e. 'u'
85 * undid the last undo. However, if there has been a change since
86 * the last undo/redo, we always do an undo. To make this work when
87 * the user can undo multiple operations, we leave the old semantic
88 * unchanged, but make '.' after a 'u' do another undo/redo operation.
89 * This has two problems.
91 * The first is that 'u' didn't set '.' in historic vi. So, if a
92 * user made a change, realized it was in the wrong place, does a
93 * 'u' to undo it, moves to the right place and then does '.', the
94 * change was reapplied. To make this work, we only apply the '.'
95 * to the undo command if it's the command immediately following an
96 * undo command. See vi/vi.c:getcmd() for the details.
98 * The second is that the traditional way to view the numbered cut
99 * buffers in vi was to enter the commands "1pu.u.u.u. which will
100 * no longer work because the '.' immediately follows the 'u' command.
101 * Since we provide a much better method of viewing buffers, and
102 * nobody can think of a better way of adding in multiple undo, this
103 * remains broken.
105 * !!!
106 * There is change to historic practice for the final cursor position
107 * in this implementation. In historic vi, if an undo was isolated to
108 * a single line, the cursor moved to the start of the change, and
109 * then, subsequent 'u' commands would not move it again. (It has been
110 * pointed out that users used multiple undo commands to get the cursor
111 * to the start of the changed text.) Nvi toggles between the cursor
112 * position before and after the change was made. One final issue is
113 * that historic vi only did this if the user had not moved off of the
114 * line before entering the undo command; otherwise, vi would move the
115 * cursor to the most attractive position on the changed line.
117 * It would be difficult to match historic practice in this area. You
118 * not only have to know that the changes were isolated to one line,
119 * but whether it was the first or second undo command as well. And,
120 * to completely match historic practice, we'd have to track users line
121 * changes, too. This isn't worth the effort.
