542525 - Bundling of undo events

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Skywriter Graveyard :: Editor, defect)

Description

[Kevin Dangoor]

Each character typed in the editor creates another undo event. Those events are 
never merged into a single, bigger event. Most editors will undo larger typing 
changes with a single undo event and this is generally what you want.

I will start working on this.Anything needed to read/test before submitting code?

Mohammed,

glad to hear you will work on this.

>Anything needed to read/test before submitting code?

There is no such process at the moment. There are some unit tests in Bespin (that you can run using the 'test' command from the Bespin command line). In this case, feel free to submit a patch to the bug and I review it then.

What's your basic plan to implement this?

Thanks a lot!

Julian

Thanks a lot Julian.

I have some suggestions and ideas, but they are still not arranged in my mind, this is because I'm having exams nowadays.Is there any collaboration place, a wiki for example to write and collaborate on ideas?

I'll try to get this finished before July, As soon as I finish my exams.

Thanks a lot!
Mohammed

ACETRANSITION

The Skywriter project has merged with Ajax.org's Ace project (the full server part of which is their Cloud9 IDE project). Background on the change is here:

http://mozillalabs.com/skywriter/2011/01/18/mozilla-skywriter-has-been-merged-into-ace/

The bugs in the Skywriter product are not necessarily relevant for Ace and quite a bit of code has changed. For that reason, I'm closing all of these bugs. Problems that you have with Ace should be filed in the Ace issue tracker at GitHub:
