User Preference to include or exclude object selection in undo

When I undo, I want undo only changes that I’ve made to a document, not what I’ve selected. I find the existing behavior to be unintuitive and counter to basically all other applications.

However, I realize some people like it the way it is, so we can we get a user option to only include document changes in Undo?

I’ve been using Figma for a couple of weeks because my workplace requires it and my experience with it so far has been a nightmare solely because of how Figma treats selections and history.

A selection does NOT change anything in the document, therefore, object selection should not be part of the undo history. At least not by default.

I’m not asking for Figma to remove it, I’m just asking for it do be an option so we can opt out of this madness.
