please… does anyone know how i can get this back – ever since i "upgraded" to CS this is one feature that i can’t stand having lost: cmd+Z’ng over and over only undoes and redoes endlessly… i need cmd+Z to undo and undo and undo…
….and, no.. i hate the history pallet… i hate it more now… and command+option+Z doesn’t do it for me.
undo = command+z redo should = command+shift+z
please does anyone know how i can get this back/where to find the option, checkbox, pulldown, or modified config file to change this setting back???? tia.
Give your photos a professional finish with sharpening in Photoshop. Learn to enhance details, create contrast, and prepare your images for print, web, and social media.
Why is it that those who rant the loudest are the ones who demonstrate through their posts that they are the most likely to have not taken the time to look at the online help or read through the disk-supplied PDFs?
This is basic knowledge, w00ge. Help yourself a little more by putting forth some effort to solve a simple stumbling block like this one, and you’ll garner a whole lot more respect, empathy and quality assistance when you have a tough question that isn’t easily or readily addressed by the help files.
signed, Exasperado (with a tip-o-the-tam to the Divine Ms. Myrgyryt!)
after traversing the online help, FAQ’s, and the register-form-ridden adobe.com – i had exhausted all other avenues.
already possessed the basic knowledge of being able to edit key shortcut settings, but felt that this was a silly method of trying to get a standard feature back from the dead.
worded my post in such a way that would stand out, and be clear that i wanted to bring back the old functionality, instead of having to use the history pallet.
agree that this was not the most "polite" post i’ve ever made, and i’ll try to temper myself next time adobe takes away normal functions without offering a clearer way of bringing them back.
Phosphor: ok .. I’m open to criticism, so if you or anyone else have the answer to my question, please… prove me wrong… if the answer was in the docs – and i some how missed it, by all means… share with the world!
There are others on this board even, that still don’t know the answer to this very mystery, and this thread will help them as well.
Chris: i do admit i have a limited amount of time to read through entire manuals looking for one line saying "sorry – we removed that feature, deal with it", so in that respect, your right, i didn’t read *all* of the documentation.
You have to admit, it is a very strange to change Photoshop’s undo, this late in the game plus and every other adobe app still have normal multiple undo… why mess with a good thing? if it ain’t broke…
There hasn’t been a change — the functionality is still there, staring you in the face. It’s in the manual, in the online help, and in the preferences where we told you to look.
How difficult is it to find this? Once mouse click-and drag in a main menu column. If you’ve failed to explore and discover this, you don’t necessarily have issues with lacking knowledge, you have issues with your dearth of curiosity.
And for that I don’t feel educationally superior to anyone; rather, I pity your lack of propensity for exploration.
OK…NOW I’m outta here. My jobabove and beyond the call of dutyis done here.
– Adobe.com – search yeilds 26 results – only a few are photoshop related, and non mention enabling the multiple undo feature…
– the printed 92 page manual that came with CS suite – is a joke
– PDF documentation: nothing… in fact a near copy of the online html docs – but on page 662 there is reference to the fact that you can redo with cmd+z as well… oh wow!… how nice!…../sarcasm
– Preferences: you’ll have to take my word for it that i went through every panel.
I hate to get involved, but W00ge’s original post says that he knowsoption-command-z = undo. He wants it to go back to command-z for undo and shift-command-z for re-do.
just to end this – i have used everyone’s suggested methods to redefine the undo and step back commands, to emulate the "old functionality" of the undo command.
I did notice that wOOge has set his Prefs. to save 200 History steps and just wonder why he doesn’t use the History Palette to "undo" by taking giant strides backwards in a single leap at a time?
It certainly took me far less time to do a quick search in the CS help than to wade through all of this. I hope that wOOge truly appreciates everyone’s efforts!
As for me, I second Ann’s comment — the History Palette is the most efficient way to go on this. A single mouse-click.
