What if there was Undo History specific to each layer in addition to the standard global undo. Does anyone know if this exists already? Currently for pretty much every program in the world "CTRL + Z" is the hotkey for "undo last modification/action", but what if GIMP, or some 3rd party developer, made it possible for each layer in GIMP to log its own independent history? I am far from a programmer, but is it feasible to make an addition to GIMP that allows users to click on a layer and only undo the history of changes made to the specified layer?
Keep global undo "CTRL + Z", but add in a modifier for layer specific undo like a "CTRL + ALT + Z"
Would be pretty dope.
Example: I'm sure you get it already, but every so often I will have made changes to a layer, moved onto another layer, then wanted to undo some changes I applied to the previous layer, but Undo isn't layer specific, it can only go backwards chronologically, so I'll have to erase the work I want to keep on the layer I have been working on in order to undo the work I've done on a previous layer.
*of course in this case, in reality, I will not use Undo, I will delete the layer I want to reset so I can keep the work I did after making changes to this previous layer. But, also that sucks. would love something like an Advanced Undo.
