Ability to pause Undo/Redo
I would like the ability to pause the undo/redo stack without clearing it. This would be helpful for me because what I like to do is insert tables with a printable border already in place. If I do this currently, the undo button will simply undo each border around each cell in the table separately. The only way I can get around this is to clear the whole undo/redo stack.

An alternative suggestion is to create API to begin and end an undo atomic transaction.
Access to the undo stack would solve it all, imho, in a way the one could manage it (add, delete, save, restore...)
Is there any timeline for when this might happen? One of your competitors implements this action grouping with a simple call to a BeginUpdate() method before the series of actions and a call to EndUpdate() at the end to make those actions into a single undo item. This would be really useful to have someday soon.
Hi Ben, it is already possible to group undo actions, see TextControl.BeginUndoAction and TextControl.EndUndoAction.
It's just not possible yet to pause the undo buffer.
Thank you Gunnar, I hadn't upgraded to that version yet. I'm thrilled to see that. I'll check it out.
why is it closed?
The feature to stop and restart undo without loosing the stack is still not available
Hi Klaus-Peter, it seems the feature request had been set to completed by accident.
I reopened the feature request.
As of today, it is not possible to pause Undo/Redo.
