Mark,
Following your suggestions on the whitespace to tabs function on 5 rows
that each have 16 spaces would look like this:
SPLIT_BEGIN
16x UNDO(DEL)
1x UNDO(ADD)
16x UNDO(DEL)
1x UNDO(ADD)
16x UNDO(DEL)
1x UNDO(ADD)
16x UNDO(DEL)
1x UNDO(ADD)
16x UNDO(DEL)
1x UNDO(ADD)
SPLIT_END
The deletion and addition of data is in this case linked to a single
change. There has to be even more markers to mark where one change
begins and ends and where the set starts and ends. I don't think this is
the optimal way of doing this.
Another example is the search+replace all with newlines (which i think
it should support).
The text:
1. foo bar foo
2. foo bar foo
3. foo bar foo
4. foo bar foo
5. foo bar foo
If you search for "bar" and replace it with "\nthis\nis\nnewlines\n",
there would have to be a lot of complicated calculations on where the
add_undo(ENTER) should be placed etc. And what about search+replace with
submatches? Example: Replace "([a-z])(ar)" with "\n$1\ngo$2\n\n"
