As all the ;; Gnus buffers aren't very text-oriented (what is in the buffers is ;; just some arbitrary representation of the actual data), normal Emacs ;; undoing doesn't work at all for Gnus. ;; ;; This package works by letting Gnus register functions for reversing ;; actions, and then calling these functions when the user pushes the ;; `undo' key. As with normal `undo', there it is possible to set ;; undo boundaries and so on. ;; ;; Internally, the undo sequence is represented by the ;; `gnus-undo-actions' list, where each element is a list of functions ;; to be called, in sequence, to undo some action. (An "action" is a ;; collection of functions.) ;; ;; For instance, a function for killing a group will call ;; `gnus-undo-register' with a function that un-kills the group. This ;; package will put that function into an action. ;;; Code: (require 'gnus-util) (require 'gnus) (defgroup gnus-undo nil "Undoing in Gnus buffers." :group 'gnus) (defcustom gnus-undo-limit 2000 "The number of undoable actions recorded." :type 'integer) (defcustom gnus-undo-mode nil ;; FIXME: This is a buffer-local minor mode which requires running ;; code upon activation/deactivation, so defining it as a defcustom ;; doesn't seem very useful: setting it to non-nil via Customize ;; probably won't do the right thing.
