Re: Recovering data after massive deletions

Thanks Ben

Indeed,
:echo undotree()
gives a lot of raw data.

After your previous mail, I installed Gundo and it worked just as
advertised. Regrettably, despite 988 entries, it did not contain
my missing data :(

Ignore the swap exists error, you can always quit without saving in the new Vim. Then you should be able to navigate through your undo information more easily.

Actually, I was surprised to fund that Gundo worked without
restarting my session.

Not often that I lose data in vim.

Thanks again for your help Ben.
