Monaco Editor: Manually trigger undo\redo from code

Issue

I have a React application in which I'm trying to manually call undo\redo from code on an instance of a Monaco editor. I want to do this so I can perform undo\redo when the editor is not in focus. I've searched the API and did not find a way, help would be appreciated :)

Solution

You can call IEditor.trigger, and use undo or redo handlers.

Example, where editor implements IEditor:

// Undo
editor.trigger("myapp", "undo");

// Redo
editor.trigger("myapp", "redo");
