Description

I'm always frustrated when my kids loose half a day of daddy support work.

Describe the solution you'd like
Make the "undo" history keeping every step, flushing only on request (in the settings).

Describe alternatives you've considered
I could copy the results of every project to a Google-Docs or my own GitHub files, but probably I will be mostly to lazy for this.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the editor's undo-history implementation and settings handling, then determine how history is currently flushed. Done means undo history persists across the requested scope and can be flushed through a setting, with behavior covered by tests.
