Summary: Kate idea: Undo within selection
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: RedHat RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kwrite-devel kde org
ReportedBy: kde holovaty com
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from: RedHat RPMs
Here's something that would make Kate more useful: An "undo within selection" feature.
Basically, it'd allow a user to select text, hit "Undo within selection," and the undo would \
only affect the selected part of the text.
I'd use this feature a lot while editing code. Lots of times, I'll make a change to something \
toward the top of the document, then make a change to something at the bottom of the document, \
but then I'll want to undo the first change without undoing the second change. Currently, in \
this situation, I'll copy-and-paste the second change into a new document, then hit "Undo" \
several times in the original document until the original changes are undone, then \
copy-and-paste the second change from the new document back into the first document. That's \
quite laborious and error-prone. It would seem easiest, usability-wise, to be able to select \
the code at the top of my document and hit "Undo within selection."
I suspect this would be a popular feature -- and I can't think of any other text editor that \
has it. It'd be another way for Kate to prove it's the best editor around. :-) \
