Normally in Emacs, undo is done in chunks. To quote from the manual: > Usually each editing command makes a separate entry in the undo > records, but some commands such as `query-replace' divide their > changes into multiple entries for flexibility in undoing. > Meanwhile, self-inserting characters are usually grouped to make > undoing less tedious. 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
