Buffer Time Travel
Vim allows you to go to an earlier text state for a buffer with :earlier. For instance, if you want to see the state of the buffer from 10 minutes ago:
:earlier 10mSimilarly, you can move back toward the present text state of the buffer with :later. If 10 minutes earlier was too far, you can come back 5 minutes like so:
:later 5mI encountered these in Nick Nisi's 'Vim + Tmux' talk.
