It would be great and very useful, if the "Reload file" action would not clear the
Undo buffer, but add "Replaced the whole text" to the stack instead.
This can be a real time saver\! (e.g. if curl overwrites your file with the result
of it...\!)

Does anyone know why the reload method just reuses the load method in the first place? You get some other side effect stuff with load like completely clearing out the Buffer state. It seems like doing a compound edit of removing all text then insert from file contents would be acceptable. |

What you suggest might be useful rarely, on the other hand it will can be very expensive in memory. If at all, I'd suggest adding a new action for this. But do you know other editors / IDEs that do that? I don't think undoing a reload is a common thing. |
