Notes
- This operation will succeed or fail silently. There is no response from the server.
- The undo/redo functionality from QtWebKit is problematic, it seems to undo 'any' operation even if the last operation happened in an inactive frame. This is usually not what the user wants and might lead to the user accidentally undoing several minutes of work in another app without realising it!
