Sometimes you make several changes, and then discover you want to go back to

when you have last written the file. You can do that with this command: >

:earlier 1f

The "f" stands for "file" here.

You can repeat this command to go further back in the past. Or use a count

If you go back too far, go forward again with: >

Note that these commands really work in time sequence. This matters if you

made changes after undoing some changes. It's explained in the next section.
