Undo broken with new VS Code

2 min read Original article ↗

Type: Bug

I just upgraded to VS Code 1.74.0 today, and started noticing an issue with undo command ("u") in Vim. It appears to only go back 2-3 iterations (my current Vim: History setting is "50"). And if I hit CTRL+Z, it first undoes what "u" just undid, then start actually undoing, e.g.

  • i → insert mode
  • a → "a"
  • b → "ab"
  • ESC → normal mode
  • u → "a"
  • u → nothing happens, but should've undone "a"
  • CTRL-Z → "ab" (undoes what u just undid)
  • CTRL-Z → "a"
  • CTRL-Z → ""
