- .topic hcUndo
- UNDO [Ctrl]-[U] {EDIT Menu:hcEdit_Menu}
- [Ctrl]-[Q]-[L] {EDITOR Cmds:Editor_Commands}
-
- Undo your last text operation. Whether you entered text that
- you don't really want, or accidentally deleted some text you
- would like to restore, UNDO will restore the text to its
- original context.
-
- However, you must select UNDO before you use any
- {cursor key:Cursor}. The UNDO buffer is based on cursor
- movement. As long as you are entering or deleting text you can
- UNDO it. This also applies to marking blocks of text and
- deleting them. The deletion can be undone, as long as you don't
- move the cursor with a {cursor key:Cursor} (i.e., [PgUp],
- [Right-Arrow], [Home], etc.). Once the cursor is moved, the
- UNDO buffer flushes itself and the original text context is
- forever gone.
-
- This does not apply to using any of the text
- {reformatting keys:Formatting}. Wordwrap can not be undone. Nor
- can paragraph or document reformatting.

- This command is disabled until you enter or delete text in an
- edit window.
