    Undo Button?

    film man 24 Community Member

      Is there a "undo" button that can be selected without having to go edit>undo? I am also aware of the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+z. Its nice selecting the back button quickly.  Maybe a shortcut could be added to the tools window? Were you can pick between the pointer and other options like ripple and razor?

          There is no "undo" button, but the Undo command of Ctrl-z can be changed to any available key using the Keyboard Shortcuts menu.

            Thanks for that info. How can I change the preset? I would like to change it so I only have to push one key, that's my big thing. Sounds kind of stupid... but, I don't like contorting my fingers each time. Kind of picky haha

              YES, found out how, just go to Edit>keyboard customization and from there you can change and save what you would like. =) thanks for leading me down that road

                The Keyboard Shortcuts menu is in the Edit menu.

                 

                When it opens, type the word Undo in the Search box.

                 

                That will present you with the Ctrl-z shortcut. Click on the shortcut and type whatever key you want to use. If it is allowed, it will take it. If not it will complain.

                  So you had the correct answer? Really? Amazing. Without any help. Hmmm.

                   

                  I suppose if you had bothered to mention you were using old software, I might have called the menu what it used to be called.

                    Thank you for your help. Premiere Elements had a button on the main screen not in a sub-menu. Just learning the new Pro version . Seemed strange not to have out in the open after being used to Elements.

                      Just as a heads up, CTRL+Z  is the default Undo shortcut for pretty much every single program on the planet that has an Undo command, just like CTRL+C is the norm for Copy.  It might be better to get used to the norm, rather then worry about changing it for every single program (many of which don't allow that anyway).

                        Thank you Jim, that is a good point. It would be best to get used to Ctrl+Z. It seems like I'm always jackin something up while editing so I am always looking for a that button haha
