Vim tip 10: Undo and Redo

In Normal mode, you can undo and redo changes using the following commands:

• u undo last change
  • press u again for further undos
• U undo latest changes on last edited line
• Ctrl+r redo a change undone by u
• U redo changes undone by U

See :h 32.3 for details on g- and g+ commands that you can use to undo branches.
