My Steempeak Editor Accident

I was writing up a post when I must have accidentally hit ctrl+a. With that, I replaced my entire post with just a single character. Usually, this would not have been a problem, because you can just hit ctrl+z and get your text back. And since Steempeak has an undo feature in the editor, I expected it to work. This time, however, that didn't work. I kept mashing the undo button, but nothing happened. Then, still, there shouldn't be too much lost, since Steempeak has a rather handy feature that allows you to save your drafts. Just reload from the latest save-point, and you'll be back up and running. But, unfortunately, and to my surprise, the autosave feature had just run, and thereby permanently deleted my post from existence.

The Steempeak editor removes the edit history as soon as a draft is saved, thereby shaping the perfect situation for accidentally losing your text. Moreover, Steempeak has made a useful autosave feature and allows it to run while you're typing, ideal for recovering after a crash, something I had to make use of too. However, the frequency of the autosaves, combined with the removal of the edit history, makes the ctrl+z shortcut practically useless.

That's why I'd like to request @steempeak to fix the undo history. That would be all that's needed to change my appreciation for this platform from very good to truly amazing.
