smarter delete (like yEd)

[adamfk]

This shouldn't be too hard, but will take some time. Please ping me if you'd like to work on it.

yEd has a more useful delete feature than draw.io, but we should be able to reproduce the same behavior.

• [x] if group is expanded and deleted, only remove the group and not its children
• [x] if a group is collapsed and deleted, delete the group and anything nested inside it
• [x] make sure that undo functionality still works

desired yEd behavior:

current bad draw.io behavior:

hey which language you are using for this?

Hi @1san1.

I'm currently using javascript: https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith-drawio-plugin/blob/main/StateSmith-drawio-plugin.js

At some point I'd like to switch to typescript if it will help make development easier.

I'll be recording a video in a day or so to help explain how to get started hacking on the plugin. Are you interested in helping work on this issue?

[1san1]

yes i want to work on this issue
