Subject: [sup-talk] How hard would a universal undo be?
Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2009 10:32:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1252517083-sup-58@yoom.home.cworth.org> (raw)

Being a ruthless mail-processor, I sometimes archive or delete a
message hastily and realize a moment later that I actually want to
look at the message again.

Of course, if that happens when I'm in a thread-index-mode, then I can
just hit 'u' to undo and all is fine.

But if I make the same mistake in thread-view-mode then I'm currently
out of luck.

Would it be a small change to move the undo keybinding to somewhere
more universal?

As a first cut, I'd be happy if it just undid the changes to the
index, even without undoing any interface changes. That is, if my
previous command was archive-thread-and-view-next-thread, it would be
OK if it just undid the archiving part. Bonus points if it also undoes
the view-next part, but I can imagine that being more work.

Again, this is a feature I'd be happy to spend some time investigating
myself when I get the chance. I'd just be happy to hear any thoughts
on feasibility. And I'm trying to get in the habit of mentioning
issues as I run into them rather than waiting until I have the chance
to actually work on them, (at which point I may have forgotten the
issues).
