Description
Jim des Rivieres
Is it possible to have the undo/redo restac be unlimited, or at least have the limit be a user-defined amount (possibly set in preferences). It is very frustrating to have the undo/redo stack not go back far enough. The undo strategy documented in http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/% 7Echeckout%7E/platform-ui-home/R3_1/undo-redo-proposal/undo-redo% 20support.html was released in M5. The work to integrate text and refactoring is underway and will appear during the M6 cycle. There is much discussion of this topic in bug #37716. re comment#2: It is certainly possible to control the undo limit for any undo context. The most likely scenario would be to make the undo limit for text editors a preference. If this is what you want, you should open a specific bug against Platform Text for that (there may already be one?). Once we get more workspace operations implemented as undoable, we can see if it makes any sense to expose limit for the workspace context. Text undo is integrated with the new framework and operational. Refactoring undo is integrated but not yet enabled. Moving target milestone to M7. The refactoring code is enabled so I will now consider this plan item fixed. Moving to fixed. Verified in I20050509-2010 |
