[v5] Generic Undo Last Change Button
Description
Having a button/action to be able to "undo" the last change to the tree structure (dragging a tab, closing tab, etc.) would be useful.
Currently the system is tracking this for tab closure including mass tab closure (which is recognized as a single action) and prompts with a dialog.
It would be awesome if this feature can be expanded to include all other actions including moving tabs around.
Would not necessarily want a dialog prompt for every tree update (like there is currently for multiple tab closure), but would be great to have a button we could add to the panel and a keybinding.
The use case this would be especially useful in is when I drag a tab around sometimes, it messes up the tree structure, even flattening tabs. This is a hard-to-reproduce issue and may be a bug.
But even outside of this it is definitely useful when I move something in the wrong place and want to move it back.
Also having multiple "levels" of undo would be totally next-level.
I was just looking for this functionality due to the flattening bug you mentioned, where drag-and-drop for some reason flattens unrelated subtrees near where I drop a tab. Would love an undo to mitigate the bug (or just a bugfix).
Hi guys,
Is there any news on this undo function? I'm asking, because I am also running into this "flattened tree bug", and it seems more frequently lately. It is kind of driving me crazy 😥
It usually happens when I try to drag a tab with a sub-tree (meaning, there is one parent tab with any number of children)
- I start to drag the parent tab, so as to move the whole structure to another location in the tree
- OR I accidentally slightly grab and move the parent tab
- Somehow it sometimes then stops the mouse drag action for no apparent reason: I did NOT release the mouse button
- The entire tree (meaning: everything on the same level and below the dragged parent tab) is than FLATTENED entirely...
- All the tabs are now on the same level, but in the order they were in when they were still in separate trees
Anyway, as the original poster also stated, I am entirely unable to intentionally reproduce it, unfortunately.
I hope the undo function will become available. It would be a HUGE time saver. Or a solution to the "flattened tree bug" issue, of course. That would also be really great 😊 But that'll be a tough one, probably.
