The Great Undo: CTRL + Z


Noticed all of the places that CTRL+Z works lately?
The powerful 'undo' keyboard shortcut works within all PC desktop applications and Windows.
In the browsing-preview window, try renaming a highlighted list of photographs without batching. If there is a mistake, you can undo (CTRL+Z) each file name to correct while highlighted. Sweet. Personally depend on solid file-naming conventions to organize graphic files instead of the undescriptive camera defaults (FILE F100DR793.jpg). Also do not depend on a folder's name. The individual file name should give more info while browsing file lists without 'visual' preview (graphic_screenshot-Second-Life-notepad-scripting-UH-HHP.jpg). My unconfirmed intuition says this type of file-naming increases deskstop search results.

In Second Life, scripting and building tools take advantage of this powerful shortcut. You can CTRL+Z while scripting and building an object using the 'notepad' of Second Life. (Big-ups, Linden Labs...smile).

If only we could have a CTRL+U for undo-ing real life...sigh
