This has happened in JSL for as long as maybe JMP 12? It's only in script windows. and I'm using windows. Redo (if I click it) DOES work. But I often press ctrl+shift+z because that's what other editors have it as, it brings up this weird sub thing. I've fixed it for myself by just making a custom toolbar shortcut, so it's not a problem for me anymore. but that might not be the case for others.

Ctrl-Y does give a Redo for me on Window, but I have also muttered under by breath after forgetting which key combination is correct in this particular program. I think making redo the default behavior for both key combinations would 'reduce pain'.

Is there any way to undo/redo work in Dropbox paper? I am working online at PC, so that may not be an option, but I wonder if it's possible. I am not talking about restoring an older version of a file. I want to know if I accidentally delete part of my work, can I just undo it or will I need to recreate what I lost.

Thank you Jane. That worked. I have used the functions control C and control V, but I wasn't familiar with control Z. That's useful and it worked for me when I tested. That's really what I was looking for. Going back to an earlier version was already clear to me, but that's also a helpful tip.

While trying to add a picture to my Paper's file, I hit "enter" and all of my collaborated notes, titles, and pictures were deleted. Is there a way to recover my Paper's file with all of the last information inputed before the deletion?

Thank you, Jane. I found out how to recover my Paper document, but now I can't access the comments that were left on photos. They seem to be there, but as soon as I click on them to read the whole comment, they seem to condense and move upwards. It won't allow me access to the comments.

You can undo, redo, or repeat many actions in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. You can undo changes, even after you have saved, and then save again, as long as you are within the undo limits (By default Office saves the last 100 undoable actions).

If you assign those keys by Ctrl+Alt clicking on the buttons and then store the hotkeys the relevant codes will be in the StartupHotkeys.txt file so that you can then edit them correctly. The need for editing is because when assigning hotkeys in the normal way you get the Undo number along with it (so Undo 5 or Redo 3 or whatever). This is what stops the hotkey working unlees you happen to be on undo 5 or redo 3. Removing those numbers solves the problem.

I've tried removing the Ctrl+Y from the wireframe shortcut, and exporting and importing the saved preset, but no matter what I do the little triangle won't go and nothing happens. I can't get Ctrl+Y back as my Redo, very strange as to why they changed a universal command to one that I'll honestly never have any use for.

I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to in the first part of your post but to change the shortcut for Redo just go to Preferences > Shortcuts and then choose Edit from the second popup list on the page, right below the one that says Publisher. Once you've chose Edit you'll be able to change the shortcut for Redo in the list below. This is a Mac screenshot but it will look similar on Windows.

Of all the non-sensical and regressive changes introduced in Version 2, this one is by far the most ridiculous. CTRL+Z and CTRL+Y are without a doubt the 2 most used keyboard shortcuts for any Windows user in literally EVERY application. Suddenly overriding one of these keyboard shortcuts so it instead toggles an obscure view function in your own software instead of the standard OS function that 99% of windows users expect it to do demonstrates an *ASTOUNDING* lack of UX insight and/or arrogance. Did you guys do any UX testing whatsoever for Windows users for Version 2?

While it is the Windows standard, it's not uncommon to use Ctrl+Y for something else. It's been a year since I used the Adobe suite on Windows but I recall that they used Ctrl+Y for other purposes in their apps, too. I googled it just now and found that InDesign uses Ctrl+Y to open the story editor and Photoshop uses Ctrl+Y for Proof Colours.

Sure, its obviously a trivial change to revert - once I actually figured out what was going on. It took a good ten minutes for me to realize it wasn't just a weird bug and I was actually toggling some new view mode I had no idea about.

I do remember Adobe's Ctrl-Shift-Z quirk, but in over 2 decades of using various professional creative/engineering software i think that might be the only software package I can remember that eschews this standard. Even AutoCAD Civil3D (which is infamous for taking over your keyboard) leaves my precious Ctrl-Y alone.

But whether its "standard" or not is irrelevant. Its not that one way is "correct" and the other way is not, its just that the change was abrupt and not communicated. Imagine if Adobe suddenly changed the 'Redo' shortcut back to regular old 'Ctrl-Y' with their next update but didn't communicate it clearly to users before the change was made. There would be chaos. Their users have spent years using Ctrl-Shift-Z for 'Redo' to the point that it has become muscle memory, and now all the sudden it does something different.

Thanks so much for this Walt.farrell - a life-saver for me. I panicked when ctrl+Y 'wrecked' my design, and I tried all sorts of things. In all these attempts to retrieve things I must have done something else as my design became unworkable (though I got it out of wireframe somehow) and I've had to scrap it. Only then did I think to search on ctrl+Y and found your solution. I'd never come across wireframe before and I couldn't do anything but presume I ruined everything. I don't use Affinity Publisher that often, so I've changed redo to ctrl+Y (thanks to your clear explanation) and hopefully I won't repeat my calamity.

I have deleted a component accidentally. I tried to undo with shortcut key Ctrl + Z and redo with Ctrl + y. Copy and paste works with shortcut key but how to do undo and redo. will I have to recreate the component? please help because I have to improve my fidget spinner tutorial !!

When I code in the Blocks Editor, after I finish each Event or Procedure I save it to my hard drive using a Download Blocks Image on that procedure definition or Event, so I can drag it back in if I lose it.

Patrick Cappiello and a few other somms are doing a redo of the 1976 Judgement of Paris tasting to promote US wines and showcase. And to see if new American wines can hold up still. He asked me to post about it here for engagement.

I can understand what Patrick is doing here, but totally agree with Larry. We will never carve out our own space if we constantly try to compare ourselves to the French and Italians. I love domestic wines for all the things they are not as it relates to the old world wines. They fill a different void and that is what makes them wonderful.
