In this case, it was a revServer script (i.e. simple text file), so
lcStackDiff wasn't directly applicable, but the display of differences
in a script in lcStackDiff looks really helpful; you could maybe
consider extending lcStackDiff to cover .lc and .livecode text files as
well as scripts within stacks.

Can't kelp putting in a plug for my lcStackDiff plugin. It will show you
the differences between two versions of a stack file, including exactly
which lines were changed in scripts.
Not a replacement for undo, just another tool to add to the arsenal to
figure out what you might have done to cause a bug to appear..

I can immediately think of a use case for it. In fact, I experienced it
about 10 minutes before seeing this email.
In Coda2, editing a revServer file. Save it, upload ("publish") it, test
it - disaster. I've messed up something badly, not obviously anything to do
with wha I intended to change.
Fortunately, Coda2 does "Undo" beyond saves, so I simply "Undid" a few
things until I saw a change I hadn't intended, fixed that - and carried on
very quickly and easily.
Of course, i could have got around it other ways (Dropbox had the
previously saved 'good' copy, etc.) but the convenience of just Undo-ing
was very helpful.

No no problem, it's just that it's fairly typical to only be able

that. :-)
OK. I'll put that on my to-do list. I was thinking that keeping the
undo list back as far as possible was a benefit, but I can't come up
with much of a use case where I'd want to keep it past the last save.
