undo for C-w in the Summary buffer

undo for C-w in the Summary buffer

[Andi Kleen]

Sometimes, when reading large groups, I want to catch up on a block of
posts with C-w, but misplace the mark and catch up on far more than I
wanted.

Unfortunately there's no undo for C-w, or is there?

I know I can go back to the group buffer and do undo there,
but that usually undoes far more than I wanted to undo (just the last
C-w)

Is there a way to make this work?

Thanks,
-Andi

No, there's no undo in the summary buffer.  But you can just `Q' out if
you do something very wrong, but...

... that usually undoes more than you wanted to.  :-/

All the summary commands can be made undoable, but it would slow down
normal operations somewhat, and I'm not sure it's worth the added
complexity...
