Edit Cursor - Undo History #198

Building on the recent zoom undo feature, it would be great if we had a separate sws undo history for the edit cursor.

The edit cursor isn't recalled when using Reaper's undo, which is quite often a good thing, but just as often bad!

ie if you have placed perfectly your edit cursor after zooming in/tabbing to transient etc, and then accidentally move it for whatever reason, you have to redo it (unless you placed a marker/stored the position or thought ahead in some other smart way). This way I could get back to where I was easily, without always thinking ahead. :)

I'm sure there's a few who would use this feature if included. Thanks, sws crew!

Cheers Bevosss

Oh yes, I remembered that other 'undo' thingy Tim...

Time Selection undo.

You can undo this with native undo, but then you are undoing other stuff as well.

It's one of those fiddly things like the edit cursor, that can be slow to recreate perfectly...this would be an awesome speedup. And then we have the slots to save them permanently also, beautiful.

ALSO...if you ARE doing a Zoom Undo management window, could you consider these options too for the zoom tool:

  1. Obeying Snap (and unsnapping with shift etc)
  2. Adding a time selection (and edit cursor moving to start if optioned)

Thanks Tim! :)

Bevoss, I did the "main" part of this for v1.8.6 #2 ( r305 ), edit cursor undo/redo.
