Feature Request: Persistent Undo/Redo Across Sessions #224682

Hey VSCode team,

I'd love to see a feature where VSCode saves a history of all the changes I make in a file, even after closing it, restarting VSCode, or even rebooting my computer.

This would mean I could:

Undo changes from previous sessions: I often realize I made a mistake after closing a file, and it would be awesome to be able to undo it the next time I open it.
Recover work after a crash: If VSCode or my computer crashes, I wouldn't lose my undo history.
Have peace of mind: I'd feel more confident knowing I can always go back and undo something, no matter what happens.

I know some other editors like neovim this feature, and I think it would be a great addition to VSCode. It would make my workflow smoother and less stressful. And I think a lot of people would agree with me on this adding this feature.

Thanks for considering my suggestion!

You may want to check out the Timeline view which does this (bottom of the Explorer tab)
