Time machine?

[pickfire]

:ear ~1f and :lat 1h in vim IIRC

And also history branching like g+ and g-, not sure if kakoune supports them but I miss them.

I would be interested in this, it should be possible to build by extending the History implementation (we'd need to store a timestamp of each change as well).

@pickfire Since you've been quite active so far, can I invite you to join us on the Matrix channel?

I'd like to take a stab at this. It sounds like a good feature to get to know the editor state, the history representation, and adding new commands.

My current understanding is that for the :earlier and :later commands we can reuse the current history implementation. For branching we'd need to represent the change history as a change tree that branches on new insertions.

Therefore it will be easier to start with the time machine, and follow up with branching, or even split branching out to a separate issue.

Go for it! The issue is yours :)
