In the past (version 20.x?) if I entered C-u C-u C-u C-x u (four consecutive control U characters to set the argument counter to 64, followed by a control x - u, which performs the undo command), it would undo the last 64 sequences (character entry, cut, paste, etc.). Now it appears that the numeric argument part of the undo command no longer works. It always operates as if I had just entered a plain old C-x u with no prefix. Has something changed? I looked in my .emacs and its associated private library load and saw nothing that appeared to me to have any possibility of affecting operation in this area. Any suggestions? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

When you wrote one sentence fluently without having to correct yourself, this is one event and yould be undone by one undo.

I am a reasonably fast typist, and I've seen this operation and have no complaint about it. I'm talking about if I try to give a numeric argument to the undo operation, it only undoes one operation.
