Date: Fri, 16 Sep 1994 00:29:35 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <94Sep16.003006edt.24130@hawkwind.utcs.utoronto.ca> (raw)
don't dissimulate: of course it's creeping featurism.
that's not a good enough reason to reject doing it, however.
there are better ones.
the frequency of using undo when not already typing commands
anyway is not high enough to justify making the button 2 menu
larger, at least in my experience. i'm confused by your 'apparently
very common' remark. perhaps you undo nearly as frequently
as you do the other operations on button 2. that strikes me as odd.
in any case, putting something on the menu just because it's
common begs another question: is there something even more
common that should be there? global substitute? indent? reverse
indent? go to matching brace? pipe through formatter? and so on.
better to leave the worms in the can.
