persistent undo

Would be great to have this in VS Code.

I enjoy in plain (neo)vim when I’ve set my undo path and have and

      if has('persistent_undo')
        set undofile	" keep an undo file (undo changes after closing)
      endif

so that every time I re-open a file any time in the future (even after closing vim/neovim) the undo history persists.

I have that setting in my init.vim, but looks like it doesn’t work in VS Code Neo Vim.

The problem is that the vscode undo stack isn’t loaded back into the neovim buffer, so unless you use the vscode undo functionality, it won’t work.

Can we arbitrarily replace a neovim buffer’s undo history? (basically the other way around).

If so, then that may be a way to rely on VS Code’s semi-persistent undo (and eventually its fully-persistent undo), although in this case we would lose the history tree. But it could still be a worthy option for those that are okay with not having the tree.

EDIT: Oh, but we would need to read VS Code’s history stack, which may not be possible.

VS Code recently added persistent undo, your wish should have already been granted!

I turn it off as it really annoys me, when I close I file I want that to be the final undo: “files.restoreUndoStack”: false. I thought it was true by default, check it out.
