Yes, one ACTION at the time. Not one CHARACTER at the time or one
arrow key move at the time.

I often undo whole word, or whole sentence. In mcedit it would cost me
about 5-15 keypresses for a word undo and 20-30 keypresses for a
sentence undo. Moreover I navigate a lot in text, which gives me lots
of additional keypresses for arrow key actions.

I would like to note, that I don't use mcedit, so I won't force
changes if nobody is interested :)
