I've never even encountered this type of keystroke-level undo until TextMate, and I find it slows me down considerably. Please make chunks a preference!
Well it would have to be implemented before it can be made a preference! :-p. It's on TODO I know.
Re: slowdown, I read about something involving the caching, and I did flip a defaults write, so app switching does seem a bit better..but tab-to-tab is really sluggish, and I'm on a dual 2 G5. This is just a text editor, I can't imaging what's happing behind the scenes that causes this.
Well, we are only human. There is a lot of parsing and layout and not to mention text layout (using ATSUI), which is actually quite slow on Mac. TextEdit and NSTextView in general have tons of optimizations in their code to cope with this. TextMate also does a good deal of caching here.
