YES! YES! YES! YES!

seriously, all these ideas are absolutely terrific. but I really do like
the fast undo option here. as far as the "it will change the way it works
in comparison with the MD" comment, there's an easy solution: update the
MD to have this functionality too. it's THAT good of an idea :-)

also, regarding the deletion of patterns: I think it would be a good
idea to extend your undo solution to them as well. that is, pressing
function+clear deletes the pattern, but pressing function+clear again
restores it. both of these undo solutions will ensure that nobody ever
mistakenly deletes something. and since pretty much everyone in here
(including me) has complained of accidentally deleting things at least
once, I think everyone would appreciate these options.

anyway, great ideas Roonan!
