Question

Undo button in toolbar for Windows touch devices like Lenovo Yoga C740

I've recently bought a Lenovo Yoga and I'm pretty happy so far. There's only one problem in Photoshop: I can't find an easy way to press Undo when the device is in tablet mode

 

I know you can scroll through the history with a three finger touch - but that isn't practical when you want to quickly draw and undo a line until it has just the right curve.

Other than that you can only go via the top menu - which takes two clicks, so that's super annoying..

 

I've found out how to display keyboard functions like strg, alt and shift in the toolbar but it doesn't seem like there is an option to also add sth like Undo to it even though it would be the perfect solution. You could draw with your right and hit undo with your left thumb.

 

All my research didn' find anything useful either. Am I just missing something or did Adobe really not think that far yet ?

 

Thanks for your help in advance,

Larissa

Same issue with my yoga. I have attempted to change the button on my pen to use the keystrokes ctrl Z, but it does not work. I have been using a bluetooth app on my phone to undo / redo, but it is not conveinient. Wish there were a better wotk arround!

How exactly are you doing the blue tooth undo on your phone? I use a Widows 2-in-1 Envy and I have the same issue with the undo redo button, I find it completely odd that this hasn't been solved yet.

Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-Shift-Z. You can swap Undo and Step Back in Preferences depending on which behavior you prefer.

Lenovo Yoga is a laptop where you can fold away the keyboard so it works like an iPad/Galaxy pad 😉 (kinda like a Microsoft Surface book) so no keyboard shortcuts unless I want to unfold the keyboard every time I make a mistake...  

 

At the same time you cannot install the Mobile version of Photoshop (like on an iPad etc.) because it's a standard Windows 10 operating system just with a touch screen!

 

Thanks though
