Undo history list

Is there a plugin to view the undo history in a list?

No there isn't, but it's a good thought. SketchUp's transactions are sequential - you couldn't Undo an action out of order, if that is what you have in mind.
But it is possible to write an Undo List plugin which would work exactly like using the Undo/Redo buttons do already; except with a list.

*wondering if the plugin could undo to a certain point in the list.. say 18 steps back.. you click the point you'd like to undo to then the plugin undoes the proper amt of steps.
-
Yeah, it could step forward and backward through the list, and move to a selected item (without skipping over any steps.)
It would be limited to SketchUp's undo limit, which is 100 Undo's.
-
Uh, now that I think about it more, it isn't possible to track SketchUp's transactions - I was thinking only for Ruby plugins which are trackable.
-
Native tools don't trigger the transaction events?
-
Yes they do, but how would you identify it in a list? Can you get the name of the transaction?
-
Ah yea - one would have to highjack the .start_operation event... which of course doesn't work with native tools.
...but how about querying the Undo menu for it's text?

I'm OK with inability to undo out of order but I find myself clicking the menu instead of hitting Ctrl-Z just because I need to see what exactly I am about to undo. A simple list of actions would be great help.
