Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe (REQUIRED):**
When I go back a number of UNDOs, eventually the UNDO is done in a part of the current document which is out of view. I then don't really know any more what text I am undoing. So the UNDO function becomes unusable for me - it's only usable if I can see what specific change in the text I am undoing.

**Describe the solution you'd like (REQUIRED):**
I'd like the part in the code where the UNDO was performed, to automatically appear in view and perhaps be subtly marked in some way to draw attention to it, so I know what change in the code I am UNDO-ing. Sometimes that may be the same document, but in another location of the document which is currently out of view. So then the editor should to change the view to that section. Or it may be in another text file of the same project, in this case the editor should go back to that other text file and show the relevant portion of edited text on-screen.

**Describe alternatives you've considered (REQUIRED):**
I'm just comparing to what I'm used to in other code editors. I only experience this issue in Defold Editor.

**Additional context (OPTIONAL):**
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
