Undo - redo

[Wock]

I think the undo registered time is around 1-2 seconds… So depending on how fast and how long one types before they pause for a second or two could depend on how much is “undone” when typing text. This is common in about every application.

I think hitting return may register an edit too.

⌘Z is UNDO
⇧⌘Z is REDO
