Notepad3: Too low degree of undo granularity

[Ace-Who]

For Notepad3, only backspace or moving cursor breaks undo.
For Notepad2，Enter also breaks undo，that's not enough but still better.

there has been a lot of work done to refine & tweak undo behavior. try the latest NP3 build in https://github.com/rizonesoft/Notepad3/issues/1129

there is Edit -> Miscellaneous -> Split Undo Transaction at Line Breaks which corresponds to SplitUndoTypingSeqOnLnBreak=true in Notepad3.ini.

there is also a manual config param in Notepad3.ini called UndoTransactionTimeout=500 (mine is set to 500ms).

Or if you are not a fan of beta version, you can try the latest version Notepad3 RC (Release Candidate).

The Notepad3 "Release version" will be published in a few days at the same address... 😃

Maybe we should make SplitUndoTypingSeqOnLnBreak=true the default on new installations 🤔

👍

and i still vote for exposing the UndoTransactionTimeout setting next to it in the UI. maybe even with a default of 500ms ;)
