Bug ID: 442468
Summary: Running a formatter as external tool prevents usage of
Ctrl+Z
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Running a formatter as an external tool has the ability to save the current
file, apply the tool, and reloading it afterwards.
For formatting this works great but the reloading of the file wipes the Ctrl+Z
buffer and its no longer possible to revert stuff that happened before the
formatting.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make some changes to a file
2. Run the clang-format formatter tool on the whole file
3. Reverting changes before the formatting with Ctrl+Z is no longer possible.
OBSERVED RESULT
Ctrl+Z does nothing, because the file was reloaded.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should still be possible to revert old changes.
Other code editors I know of just revert the whole formatting when the user
presses Ctrl+Z right after formatting. All other changes before that are also
revertable.
