It'd be nice to be able to Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z to Undo/Redo changes, respectively.

Yes, it most certainly would. Wouldn't be too hard to implement ourselves, or we could switch to adding a new dependency on gtksourceview so we can use it's implementation. But unfortunately it's not built-into core GTK.

I think I'll add that extra dependency, it does add a lot of nicities to the Gtk.TextView.

I still don't think implementing undo/redo will be to hard to do myself, but I think you'll benefit from Gtk.SourceView. It's not all about adding syntax highlighting.

Switched to using Gtk.SourceView over the Gtk.TextView superclass, and undo/redo is working very nicely.

So now any of the following won't be too hard:

syntax highlighting
autocompletion
search and replace
markable line numbers
printing
highlighting the current line
highlighting the matching bracket
drawing an 80-characters line mark or similar
illustrating which whitespace characters are present in selected text
a "minimap" (more useful for code than prose though)
