Right, undo doesn’t work by default whenever you use JavaScript to modify an input. But I googled around and found that [`document.execCommand`](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27027833/is-it-possible-to-edit-a-text-input-with-javascript-and-add-to-the-undo-stack) can insert text while appending to the undo stack.

For example, if you do `document.getElementById('myInput').value = 'asd'` and then Ctrl+Z, it won’t undo.

But if you do `document.execCommand('insertText', false, 'asd')` while the cursor is where you want it (which it should be based on the current Discourse workflow), the text is properly inserted and Ctrl+Z will remove the added text as expected.

Basically, I’m wondering if `document.execCommand` (or some other process if another approach is considered better) can be used to append to the undo stack so Ctrl+Z works in these cases.
