Answer 2

If you use OmniBrowser and the Refactoring Tools you have unlimited undo/redo on all your code changes like in any other modern editor. Select in the context menu Refactor > Undo.

Answer 3

You can open your changes file:

• Tools menu at the top of your screen.
• File List (which should open in the right place).
• In the upper right pane select the changes file (given an image called Foo.image, you'd look for Foo.changed).
• Hit the "recent changes" button, browsing as far back as the latest (top) snapshot.
• All method additions, alterations, deletions, DoIts are listed in the list that pops up.
• Select the method/s you want, right click (I can never remember the colours for mouse buttons) and "fileIn selections".
