Description

Summary

The Duality editor has full Undo / Redo support, but the only way to access it is via Ctrl + Z / Ctrl + Y shortcuts and a menu entry. It would be much cooler if there was a full "History" module showing the complete list of Undo / Redo steps and allowing to revert back to an old state with one click. For reference, maybe something along the lines of the Photoshop or Gimp undo history.

Analysis

  • This feature can easily be done in its own editor plugin, no changes to the core or editor are required for this.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing editor plugins in Duality for patterns, then implement a dockable panel that displays the undo history list with clickable items to revert to a specific state.
