In Emacs, 'undo' is Meta-U. The Ctrl-U prefix doesn't seem to work with that. So, for anything that's going to change the document, it's advisable to just _be_ _careful_. For example, when executing a keyboard macro (to transpose columns in a table, for example), execute it once then again, then 4 at a time for a bit, then 16 at a time; then if that all looks safe do a whole bunch. For an additional measure of safety, there are numbered backup versions. After a few sessions editing a small file named "z", I have this: hostname:~/scratch% ls -alt total 28 drwxr-xr-x 2 me users 4096 Nov 21 19:50 . -rw-r--r-- 1 me users 19 Nov 21 19:50 z -rw-r--r-- 1 me users 14 Nov 21 19:50 z.~4~ -rw-r--r-- 1 me users 12 Nov 21 19:50 z.~3~ -rw-r--r-- 1 me users 9 Nov 21 19:50 z.~2~ -rw-r--r-- 1 me users 3 Nov 21 19:50 z.~1~ drwxr-xr-x 51 me users 4096 Nov 21 19:46 .. hostname:~/scratch% If I mess up a macro, I just go back to the previous edition. -- Robert Riches spamtrap42@jacob21819.net (Yes, that is one of my email addresses.)
