[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44402] spurious undo button

[Carnë Draug]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #44402 (project octave):

We are making the GUI code more complicated with one more signal, and the
interface more cluttered with another button, in order to support an undo
button for the command line. Should we really be going that way?

An undo button makes sense when doing larger things. At the command line, undo
can only change the line we are currently writing which makes it even more
useless.

Sure, there may be someone who will prefer to move the mouse and click the
icon when at the terminal but I doubt that it will be true for the vast
majority. We will just be making the interface more complicated for them. And
when will there be enough buttons to do small things? Readline has a lot more
stuff which I hope will not be turned on buttons too.
