I've recently moved to spacemacs and it seems that they've adopted a different undo package (undo-tree) which I don't like since it does not push the undo actions back onto the history stack. I would like to restore the default behavior but I can't seem to figure out how to do this.

C-/ is bound to undo-tree-undo in spacemacs. I've tried to unbind this and use emacs' undo instead, but that does't seem to work. I've added the following in my user-config.el:

(global-unset-key (kbd "C-/"))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-/") 'undo)

But the key remains bound to the undo-tree method. I've also tried bind it to a new key, but the same seems to happen. It's as if spacemacs redirects call to for undo to undo-tree-undo. Is there anyway to fix this? Thank you.

EDIT

I've also tried adding undo-tree to the dotspacemacs-excluded-packages but it doesn't seem to get rid of it.

  • Have you tried to uninstall undo-tree? – Elia Feb 16 at 18:10
  • Can't uninstall it. I tried using package-list-packages and uninstalling it but it will not let me mark it for deletion. – oneself Feb 21 at 15:29

Well, turns out the solution is easier then I imagined. Just add the following to your user-config.el file:

(global-undo-tree-mode 0)
