What is the shortcut for redo?

Published in Keyboard Shortcuts 1 min read

The most common keyboard shortcuts for the "redo" function are Ctrl+Y (on Windows) and ⌘⇧Z (on macOS). F4 may also work in some applications.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Windows: Ctrl + Y
  • macOS: Command (⌘) + Shift (⇧) + Z
  • Alternative (Windows/Some Applications): F4 (May repeat the last action, which, if the last action was an undo, effectively performs a redo.)

Redo is the inverse operation of undo. It reverses the last undo action, effectively reapplying the change you previously removed. This is useful when you accidentally undo an action or change your mind after undoing it.

For example, if you delete a sentence and then press Ctrl+Z to undo the deletion (restoring the sentence), pressing Ctrl+Y would then re-delete the sentence.
