Would be awesome to have an undo feature in settings. How often do you have that feeling "I wish I remembered my previous font", and you lost it all.

Unless we completely change the way how settings saves your changes this won't be possible.
We'd have to rewrite how it saves your input with a saving button.

OR

We need to write history which may or may not be convulted.

@zach what do you think?

Every undo would be a cached settings file unless we use some kind of git/version control. At first glance it seems like a massive headache, but I guess I thought the same about searching in settings. Though to be fair that was a headache.

Currently as how the bar is made creating an undo option for settings is not possible unless we get an overhaul of the settings window.
A different way of doing it would be using SQLite which isn't compatible with QML unless we get a plugin from cpp.

For now this will be sitting in the backlog until a later revisit.

It is compatible, but indeed a lot of effort to implement at this time. Will move to backlog until further notice.
