Ace JS Editor - Enable/Disable Undo and Redo buttons in editor

Question

I'm having some issues trying to implement a way to have my undo and redo buttons automatically become enabled or disabled based on the UndoManager.

var editor = ace.edit(editorElement);

editor.on('change', function (e) {
  var um = editor.getSession().getUndoManager();
  $('button.undo').attr('disabled', um.hasUndo() ? false : true );
  $('button.redo').attr('disabled', um.hasRedo() ? false : true );
});

When you make the first change to the document it doesn't change the disabled state of the button. At this point the UndoManager hasn't been informed that there has been a change.

I didn't see any events that would be appropriate to test the state of the UndoManager in.

use input event instead of change event. undomanager is updated async after change event fires, and input event is emitted after that.

Ha! I tried input earlier but I had something else wrong and I never went back to it. Thanks much, it worked great!
