Wait until you see what intellij can do. It can do that, while also layering it in a logical, graphical diff viewer
Vim has plugins for that. ;) I use https://github.com/mbbill/undotree but if that's not to your taste there are many others. e.g. https://docs.stevelosh.com/gundo.vim/
This is exactly how undo works in Emacs out of the box. Personally, I prefer to install the undo-tree package and manually browse through the tree of undo paths. I'm not sure why this author finds a tree unacceptable for this purpose.
And it is exactly why I find Emacs undo so hard to work with. But maybe I will get it now I've read this article.

Vim has this, it's :earlier and :later https://vimtricks.com/p/vimtrick-time-travel-in-vim/ :earlier 3 – Undo the last 3 changes :earlier 5m – Go back to the state of the file 5 minutes ago :later 2 – After undoing something, redo the next 2 changes :later 1h – Travel forward through the change history 1 hour Vim also stores the tree of changes, but it's a pain to access without plugins.

It doesn’t sound like you have a problem though. Just keep doing what you’re doing.
Hehe, sure, but there are better ways to do this, and it’s a common need. If the best thing we have is hitting undo 45 times to find something, copy it, try not to accidentally type anything and try not to accidentally lose the clipboard, then redo 45 times, then do a bunch of manual editing… now repeat the entire process for every file, when there are several involved… if that’s sufficient, then SVN is sufficient fo…

What a great feature! Is the author of that feature here? If so, I want to know how they could develop such a feature and be so quiet about it. It's like someone baking a birthday cake and then dropping it down an abandoned well. Just imagine how much more productive we'd all be if Vim bros were as loud as the crypto bros over the past decade!
It's at least 16 years old https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/1f4d4de1ba52d0a9f1310e1026d9...

Came here to look for comments about VIM's `g-` and `g+` feature, was not disappointed :)
