I am willing to compromise with Growl notifications, only , of course, if everything is undoable. 

Goubier , I am glad to hear that. That means we are closer than I thought to such very nice feature. I would love to implement such feature but currently I am learning Roassal and vector graphics and it would not be much use to jump from one idea to another :) Who knows , maybe in the future, maybe not.

Yes! That would be a dream. I was thinking last night that undo could be a
tree from high level concepts down to individual actions. Something like:
- edit #aMethod
  - paste
  - delete
    - backspace
    - backspace
- edit #anotherMethod
  - ���

Certainly it seems too harsh to throw away without any notification. For
now, I think the sweet spot for most people would be undo + non-instrusive
notification. Maybe an undo list like "Workspace previous contents" and a
Growl notification. If someone reaaaally needs the confirmation, we could
have a setting, but we're talking about a single method pane's edits -
overkill IMHO...
