Hi,
a common practice is to let Undo undo all characters entered during last stroke (that is, not interrupted by movements or other operations (find/replace/search) at once. That is, If I type a few words, then press Option-Z, I expect all the words to disappear, not one letter at a time. This is the way undo works in most environments, including emacs, vi, TextEdit, AppleWorks, sam, acme, Word ...

imo, if you copied and pasted the text in one shot then you should get the behavior you describe, but typing individual letters are each atomic actions that should be undone one at a time, as per textmate currently

Interestingly that's also how I like it :) It's predictable and it allows me to visit every previous state.
But there have been some complaints, so it'll be an option in a later release, most likely with the chunked undo as the default, seeing how most Mac apps do it like this.
