//Hello Carlos,//

on *16.01.22* at *20:09:08* You wrote in rea *WINPOINT*
to *Tim Schattkowsky* about *"Ctrl+Y"*.

 CN> When replying to a message, I press Ctrl-Y and current line is deleted.

Indeed. The delete line functionality (basically one line of code) was
implemented outside the actual editor control and thus accidentally bypassed
the control's undo/redo functionality.

However, making that work gave me the creeps. I ended up with this (no
kidding):

procedure TMessageEditor.MnDeleteLineClick(Sender: TObject);
var
  LineStart:TBufferCoord;
begin
     if Line<=Editor.Lines.Count then
     begin
          LineStart.Line   :=Line;
          LineStart.Char   :=1;
          Editor.UndoList.BeginBlock;
          Editor.UndoList.AddChange(crSelection,Editor.CharIndex
oRowCol(Editor.SelStart),Editor.CharIndexToRowCol(Editor.SelEnd),'',smNormal);
          Editor.UndoList.AddChange(crCaret,Editor.CaretXY,Edito
.CaretXY,'',smNormal);
          Editor.SelStart  :=Editor.RowColToCharIndex(LineStart);
          Editor.SelLength :=Length(Editor.Lines[Line-1])+2;
          Editor.SelText   :='';
          Editor.UndoList.AddChange(crGroupBreak,LineStart,LineStart,'',
smNormal);
          Editor.UndoList.EndBlock;
     end;
end;

Hurts a little, but seems to do the job. Took me two hours of life time to
figure that sick shit out.

Indeed.

Like the idea. Changed it to this for testing ... However, Ctrl-Y was more
conveniently located on the keyboard ...
