+ GNOME Text Editor automatically keeps track of changes made while editing
+ a file.
+ Changes can be undone and redone while editing, making it easy to fix
+ mistakes.
+ </p>
+
+ <note style="important">
+ <p>
+ Changes tracked for a file will be lost after closing it, or after
+ <link xref="#discard_changes">discarding changes</link>.

+ Pressing

+ Using this shortcut repeatedly will continue undoing changes as they

+ </p>
+ <note style="important">
+ <p>
+ Changes can be redone <em>only</em> if the previous editing operation
+ was undo or redo.
+ For example, typing text into a file directly after undoing a change
+ will prevent redoing the last undone change.
