Keyboard accelerators for Undo/Redo last action
Undo/Redo seem to be the last edit menu options for which there are no KBAs , possibly because they don't specify a single task but open a list of actions.
Since 90% of my Undo/Redo seems to be concerned with the last thing i did, I would like to see accelerators for Edit > Undo last action and Edit > Redo last action.

I was astonished by the program... Thought about buying the pro version, until after 5 minutes of playing around with the Standard edition I find out that Ctrl+Z does nothing. When looking for something to quickly map your thoughts around... I thought it would be pretty obvious that a shortcut to one of the most used short actions in this process is a must. Feature created in 2009... We're in 2012 and still not implemented, even for such a simple yet required feature. I guess I will never buy this program, sadly.

This is common sense. It is expected in any modern computer application.

and I sure hope they aren't saving this feature for Version 8!I don't see the need for four accelerators. Keep it simple: One for Undo and one for Redo is sufficient (as found in most editing applications). Successively pressing the accelerator will successively undo/redo the actions. Seems easy enough. I'd also like to see a Toolbar Button for Undo and Redo (there certainly is enough space for more buttons up there!)

I don't understand why this is not done. Ctrl-Z is a standard in the overwhelming majority of applications.

For all you lucky Mac power users, I wrote a short AppleScript (http://seandenigris.com/?p=265) that undoes the last action in PB. Just assign a shortcut to it, and you're all set.
p.s. hint, hint, another example of the free functionality users can create themselves with Applescript instead of bothering the development team - make PB scriptable!!!

After some forum discussion about this (see link above), I can see the need for 4 KBAs, rather than two:
Edit > Undo (takes us to the list, also undoes last action if there is only one)
Edit > Redo (takes us to the list, also redoes last action if there is only one)
Edit > Undo last action
Edit > Redo last action -

Sorry, that was the link to the whole thread. The link to the request for this particular KBA is here:
