#83 \'undo\' doesn\'t remember individual fields changed
i have entered three entries...
pub=a
pub=b
pub=c
if i change 'pub=a' to 'pub=q', it simply deletes what
has been entered into the pub field. it should
remember what was previously there, and put back
'pub=a'. it seems if i click undo again, it will
remember the 'a'.
if the string i enter is longer than 1 character, like
'pub=abcdef', and i hit undo, it will only take away 1
character, not the whole string. i think it should
take away the whole string.
this is true for all the string/text fields i tried.

this is really 2 items - the second one is defintely awkward
- 2 solutions - either text doesnt go into the model/table
until user hits enter tab or changes focus to another field
- currently it goes in with every keystroke - thus every
keystroke is an action
or if its important to keep the keystrokes going in (which i
dont think it is) then the edit manager could have some
smarts about lumping transactions together for undo - i like
the former better i think
the first issue is interesting - you enter a, you delete a
and have a blank, you enter q - so what you are saying is
the blank should be somehow ignored as a valid undo state -
i think this comes down to the same as the above issue and
could be solved the same way - so yea these are the same now
that i think about it
yea undo is basically prompting a different way of dealing
with free text fields - opinions?

i like this solution. only have it go in after enter or
focus change
although, what will happen then if i don't change
focus/press enter. will it undo the step before i even
started entering text into the field? it should probably
just return to the state before you started entering
anything. one thing you could do is to write each character
to the history, but overwrite the history with the complete
string each time. so, if i typed a string "foo" it would
write "f", then overwrite 'f' with "fo", followed by
overwriting "fo" with "foo". would that be complicated?
