Description
While experimenting with VisualCircuit locally, I noticed that the editor
does not provide undo or redo functionality when modifying circuits.
Currently actions such as:
- adding blocks
- deleting blocks
- moving blocks
- creating connections
- deleting connections
cannot be reverted easily.
For a visual programming environment this can lead to accidental loss of
work and makes experimentation harder.
Proposed Improvement
Introduce an undo/redo system for the VisualCircuit editor.
Suggested behavior:
Ctrl + Z → Undo last actionCtrl + Shift + Z → Redo action- maintain a history stack of editor state changes
- support undo/redo for block creation, deletion, movement and connections
Benefits
- safer editing experience
- improved productivity when building circuits
- aligns VisualCircuit with modern node-based editors such as Node-RED
and other visual programming environments
