Another way to think of it is: when doing an undo or a redo, stay where you are as long as you can. I think most editors do this. It means that you can see exactly the effects of what you are undoing. Consider this sequence: - find-and-replace XXX with YYY - perform this twice - undo; you see the last replaced YYY return to an XXX (instead of, as now, seeing the next XXX) - redo; you see that YYY turn into an XXX again > I admit it does sound a bit strange to me.

Seeing a global set of changes would be overwhelming -- though it sounds like a technique I may find useful for other things. -- Russell --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BBEdit Talk" group.
