We all know about the famous Undo and Redo actions.  And we have all used CTRL + Z at one point or another to fix a mistake.  BUT did you know you don't have to press CTRL + Z a billion times to go back to a particular action?  The Undo and Redo stack is readily available for you to use for quick, large scale, Undo or Redo operations.

It's easy to use.  Just locate the Undo and Redo section of the toolbar:

Next, click on the drop down arrow for the action you want to perform.  In this case, I'll look at the Undo stack:

By default, it will only undo the last action HOWEVER notice what happens when I put my mouse over the actions:

It will automatically select multiple actions to Undo or Redo.  Also notice it shows you at the bottom how many actions you are about to Undo.  Once you have all the actions selected you want then just click the Left Mouse button.  That's pretty much it.  Go forth and do some Undo and Redo actions!

    Hi, I always use the combination of CTRL+Z for undo and CTRL+SHIFT+Z for redo; as far as I can remember it's been the preferred key combination for most of the devs I've worked with, and I fail to see why you'd want to introduce the CTRL+Y for redo - it's an ackward combination - especially for a single hand chord.

    Anders! :) Excellent point and it turns out I missed a whole pair of key combos that were available as well.  Thanks for the catch I've updated the post based on your feedback. Z

    I agree with Anders, what's up with CTRL+Y?  What happened to the standard CTRL+SHIFT+Z for redo?  Also, I can't find how to tell the IDE how many steps to remember for Undo and Redo?  It looks like it's only remembering the past 2 steps.  I need it to remember more, like everything since I loaded the page in the IDE
