[Chimera-users] undo

[Antón Vila Sanjurjo]

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I understand that having an undo capability
that remembers absolutely every single step will come at a significant cost
interms of speed. Having just the ability to revert a single action will be
great though.

best,

Antón
