The term "undo" is used twice

[hlascelles]

Great plugin - undo is exactly what I want to use it for (the ^_ version).

However I see from the instructions that hist u is also an "undo". I have now finally got it but I did find it confusing. Maybe change that one to be "rollback" (with letter b) or "revert" (with letter v)?

Hm, good point. Thanks for the feedback. I’ll have to think about it.

I have considered the options, but I still think undo is the most clear in this context. You wouldn't expect delete, edit, fix and get to mean the same thing in different contexts either, would you?

Although, I do like rollback and revert for this, but if I use those, I don't want those to be b or v. That is too hard to remember. Then I would just like it to be r, but that then leaves the question: What would then be the new name for reload? It could be s for sync, which is one I considered earlier, but it would be slightly misleading, since it's only one way.

One other option could be to rename undo to abort and use a for it. That would parallel the a in Zsh's spelling correction. 🤔

b for back would be another choice.

Note, by the way, that just as with other Undo features, you can execute hist u multiple times to go further and further back. So, in that sense, too, undo feels more appropriate to me than revert or roll back.

Yes, I see what you mean. I'll leave it with you... I am only using the hist d and ^_ functionality (a lot!), so you choose. I just thought you'd like to hear a newcomer's perspective 👍.
