I frequently run into this problem when I want to undo a large # of changes (> 50) made using a keyboard macro. Right now I hold down C-/ , try to time it out just right and frequently fail. Is there a better way? -deech ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Unfortunately I frequently don't know how many steps need to be undone. Is there a way of viewing a list of changes (maybe in another buffer), setting a mark and undo everything upto that point? -deech ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
