texteditoroperation’s are intended to do simple string manipulations, rather 
than direct manipulation of the textarea.

The implementation of undo/redo that we had relied on a different mechanism; 
you can have a look back in the commit history to the commit where the feature 
was removed.

Depending on what you’re trying to do, we may need to introduce a new mechanism.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
