FR: Undo/Redo in the Toolbar and/or finger gestures.


Recommended Posts

Dear developers!

Please, would you consider adding the Undo/Redo buttons to the Toolbar? It would be great for users with a tablet without buttons (or for people with computers with a digital pen). I have a convertible (or 2 in 1) notebook, which means I haven't an access to the keyboard once the display is flipped. Simple Undo/Redo buttons would help greatly.

It would be even better, if there was a gesture support. ;-) Right now I can zoom image by pinching, but not rotate the canvas, nor perform an undo using two fingers tap (the usual gesture for the Undo).

Would you be so kind to consider these? Thank you!!!

Unfortunately, Serif has not reflected on this request for years - more precisely, it reacts negatively, despite the fact that users with physical disabilities are asking for this option.

Sometimes I don't understand Serif's decisions...

In this case, neither do I. If it was a major and laborious intervention in the architecture and concept of the applications (something like RTL that requires a demanding intervention in the text engine of the applications), then maybe. But adding (optionally) two buttons to the Toolbar, which has already enabled this function (button management) for a long time, is a matter of a few minutes.
Applications for the iPad already have it, because someone there apparently understood that keyboard shortcuts don't exactly work with a pen - but a pen/tablet is apparently not expected for the desktop 😞
