I Know "Ctrl-z" is undo... What is the keyboard configuration to redo?
 

Sorry fucking newbie question here but I wrote up a big e-mail and pressed ctrl z by accident and I need to get the information back that i typed. What is the button configuration to undo or redo?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
DH

try CTRL Z again.. it might undo your undo = redo

it really depends on which program you're using if it has a 'redo' hotkey or not

Ctrl+Y

678

yeah ctrl - y

God bless you :thumbsup

CTRL+Z again would erase the last entry before the one you just erased.

In most programs I've used that have a Redo feature, it's CTRL+Y.

Let me know if it works.


later
c-lo

EDIT: Damn, if I didn't type such a long-ass reply, this could have actually been useful.

CTRL+Y or CTRL+R are the most used ones.

or ctrl+shift+z

I am not used with this short cut keys, thanks for sharing.

ctrl + Z Undo
ctrl + Y Redo
ctrl + A Select All
ctrl + S Save
ctrl + P Print
ctrl + E Close
ctrl + B Bold
ctrl + U Underline
ctrl + I Italics
ctrl + O Open
ctrl + N New
ctrl + V Paste
ctrl + C Copy
ctrl + X Cut

oh and 'while holding down alt and pressing 1 then 6 then 9 then letting g of alt' you get a ? character :)

Got no formal lesson on this. Thanks. I think this helps me as well. :thumbsup

click edit and it should show you all the commands

While we're doing special characters, I know that alt+164 is ñ and alt+165 is Ñ, and alt+130 is é.

Thanks, I needed that as well.

Ctrl+W will close a window
Ctrl+Q will "quit" many programs, like Photoshop

depending how you have your preferences, in PS anyway, ctl+alt+z will redo as many states as you've undone. But you have to have the "ctl+z toggles undo/redo" unchecked in the preferences. In PS7 anyway...

I can't believe how much time CTL C and CTL V have saved me since I discovered them. Didn't know about CTL Y, cool.

check the shortcuts on microsoft's site :

WinXP shortcuts

CTRL + Y, definitely...

thanks for the manual.
