I tried this. I added
[[[self undoManager] prepareWithInvocationTarget: textView]
setSelectedRange: selectedRange];
and it indeed introduces a dummy state that the user sees. If I did the
undo past save alert that would solve the problem. Ultimately I think
I'll file a bug requesting that there be a message you can send to
NSTextView to tell it to stop coalescing typing.
2) You could also do something when you save to simply convince the
text view that it should make a new typing "group". Probably the
easiest way is to simply change the selection (to anything
different), then change it back. NSTextView starts a new typing group
if you change the selection between typing characters.
Even if I put the selected range right where it was? I'll have to give
that a try. Thanks.
Unfortunately this didn't seem to work (if I want to preserve the range
by putting it back). I modifying the save code for TextEdit like this.
NSTextView *textView = [self firstTextView];
NSRange selectedRange = [textView selectedRange];
NSRange dummyRange = selectedRange;
dummyRange.location = dummyRange.length = 0;
[[self firstTextView] setSelectedRange: dummyRange];
[[self firstTextView] setSelectedRange: selectedRange];
Thanks,
Jim
