Undo text or previous content & Have work in progress topics be saved live

[Redicat]

In my opinion its VERY nice to have but idk if the host VPS has capability for it...

 

Have 'Undo' content previously typed in or previous content and implement it with 2 ways return and forward and indicate it with an arrow  

  

 

And have topics be saved as a cookie or locally so i accidently LEAVE this page while i'm now creating a topic, i don't have to facepalm anymore...

I think typing you do for a post actually is saved as a cookie if you leave.  It's really annoying sometimes since stuff gets stuck in there that you can't delete and then you're pretty much just done posting to that topic unless you clear cookies or post crap.

That is already a thing - what you type is saved to your computer every two seconds (to local storage rather than a cookie, but it amounts to the same thing), so if you accidentally leave the page, you can recover it. At the moment, it automatically fills it into the editor, but I am currently working on making it less annoying.

You can undo and redo with Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y respectively, just as you can in most programs. I think there's an undo button on the mobile toolbar though, because obviously there's no keyboard shortcuts on mobile.

I'm pretty sure you're in the minority there.

I'm not sure what you mean? Undoing by spamming or holding Ctrl+Z works fine for me.

 

While it would be physically possible for an undo button to be added to the editor, it would have to replace another button, which wouldn't have a widely known keyboard shortcut, so it won't be changing.
