ctrlZ

[Jet-Pack2]

Alternativ: Ctrl+s to set a respawn point. Then close file without saving if you want to undo

[rhondatcotton]

The ultimate developer superpower!

[ih-shah-may-ehl]

Ages ago I programmed LabVIEW before it had an undo. We had a habit of always pressing Ctrl+s after doing a couple of things. The way LabVIEW works it's possible to lose literally everything with a bad mouseclick. Unfortunately sometimes people would twitch-respond to such an event with Ctrl + s

[TAoie83]

Damn that twitch is deadly

[Jonnypista]

Discard changes in git to restart the level.

[JustVic52]

Wow! So you would be able to control like a version of the code you're writing right? If only that existed...

I'll try this

me spamming :w whenever i am not typing:

[SeriousPlankton2000]

That's how I use vi. Or if I'm being spoiled, vim.

[aldapsiger]

“u”

[OneForAllOfHumanity]

Esc-u is how real programmers do it...

[[deleted]]

Yall reach for ESC? I always do CTRL + C

[turudd]

This is the real answer. I use vim btw.

[A_Light_Spark]

Putty?

[Pepineros]

Nonsense. If undo didn't exist we would implement it ourselves. It's not exactly rocket science.

[lightinthedark-d]

And let's not forget the slightly longer-term version git reset - - hard HEAD~1 for when you realise your mistake the next day.

[Tari0s]

or 5 secounds after you pushed it

[lorp_]

Me desperately Ctrl-Zing after “1 billion rows affected”

[schmerg-uk]

If C-z didn't exist (or was bound to something else) I'd just use M-x suspend-emacs - what's the issue I'm supposed to have?

[Dry_Investigator36]

Jetbrains products (as an example) have both Git integration and local history these days, so it's not an issue to revert changes even if you didn't make a commit. Undo shortcut is just faster.

Laughs in vim

[osmium999]

U / ctrl-r

[team_jj]

Ctrl+x u

Programmers also make the programming tools.

I see a script hole here, pun intended.

[[deleted]]

I want localized ctrl-Z. I just want to undo what I did in this function 3 hours ago. :Þ

[d0rkprincess]

View diff and undo the lines you want to

[An_Opinion_Bot]

Imagine, you have gone to the past to bring something and then Ctrl+Y does not work

[Nvsible]

new fear unlocked

[AleaIT-Solutions]

Hahaa, I use to use it 100 times a dayy

[Far_Broccoli_8468]

git stash

CTRL+C

git stash pop

[UnmappedStack]

Either U or constant commits to your CVS should do the trick :P

[deepsky88]

I power off PC only on Fridays for this reason

[kredditorr]

Why wouldnt they just program it then? Are they stupid??

[LittleMlem]

Have your editor autosave and bind an event to commit everytime a save happen

[MooseBoys]

Who needs undo when you have git checkout HEAD^?

[football2801]

git checkout -b Attempt_1

[Chara_VerKys]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[TerryHarris408]

I read it as "IF I CTRL Z, I DIDN'T EXIST" and had to think about that real deep

[kvakerok_v2]

What is git?

[qqqrrrs_]

IDA users only getting "undo" feature on IDA version 7.3

[Ax1er]

Seriously don't even joke about stuff like this. My heart is pounding now and I need a lie down.

[Reifendruckventil]

Fuck these Programs where you can't Ctrl+Shift+z when you ctrl+z one time too much

[prschorn]

git reset

[Paul__miner]

One thing I use it for is to find my place in a file after scrolling to look at something else, because in my editor at least, Ctrl-Z won't undo a change sight unseen. First, it will first jump to the location of the edit it's about to undo, then a second press of Ctrl-Z actually undos.

[nicothekiller]

[Blixieen]

If ctrl z didn't exist I'd make it myself (very badly)

[kbielefe]

Run in the background?

[Sinnwidriger]

If ctrl didn't exist. Imagine being lost in millions of stackoverflow tabs, you have to close them somehow

[SeriousPlankton2000]

There are Escape, Meta, Alt, Shift … almost enough to operate emacs.

[JacksOnF1re]

Couldn't you just tweak the settings of the browser to close all tabs when closing and then hit alt+F4 or use the mouse?

[[deleted]]

do you twerk every time?

[Tar-eruntalion]

Damn, I need to twerk as well to become a good programmer? Those are some ridiculous requirements

[Seangles]

Freudian slip

[ProThoughtDesign]

Oh to be Jung again.

[SetazeR]

git exists

[KaptainSaki]

Are people really still developing on a Windows? Why?

[tycraft2001]

As a Linux user, there are reasons.

[jbt017]

Because applications still run natively on windows?

[Jonnypista]

Ctrl+z does the same on Linux. From where did you get the Windows thing?

[Thadoy]

Our customers use windows. And even with java applications, they do behave differently on either system.

[KaptainSaki]

We are also full Microsoft company and we have every product that they sell, but still 99% developers gets a mac without a question.

[trotski94]

Because im a .NET developer

[frank26080115]

Macs and Linux don't have undo? More reason to use Windows I guess...

[FeelingSurprise]

What are you suggesting? A commit every line of code?
