Hi,
I've noticed that in org-mode, undo undoes one character at a time.
Normally in Emacs, undo is done in chunks. To quote from the manual:

So to undo a sentence that you've typed in, only a few "undos" are
required. In org-mode, though, it seems self-inserting characters
aren't grouped, and my undos are thus more tedious.
Is this a feature or a bug? I like the grouped undo feature.
In outline mode, the undo is still grouped, so it seems this is an
undo-specific thing. I am running version 6.22b
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nicolas,
good observation.
The reason for this is that Org binds all characters
to a function different from self-insert-command, which
the the one arranging for the special undo behavior.
Maybe it is possible to fix this, by adding a property
to the command or so, but I am not aware of a solution.
