In Zmacs, if the region is set, undo limits its actions to those fully contained within the region. If an action spread across the boundary of the region, it failed. This was a staggering win; I often find that I have made a change to some code, and then edited a comment or docstring or something, and realize that the code change I just made was silly. With the current setup, I have to either undo all of the text I have typed, or undo the code change from memory. -- Jamie
