Datanomics

I persistently hit “command+S” or “cntrl+S” when editing any file. Unfortunately, in Stata’s built-in do file editor (on the Mac at least) once I hit such a command, the undo history clears. This is a horrible feature. All other modern editors keep a running history of all edits so that undo can be called as often as possible. Combine this problem with a lack of syntax-highlighting and no line-specific errors, and Stata is even more difficult to use.
