Ability to disable undo gesture

[dianat19225747]

It would be great to turn off the hand gestures or individual ones like the undo tap/swipe. I don't see a unique post for this but have seen ithis request within comments under other posts. Whenever I rest my hand on the screen, the undo action takes place. Most of the time I have already made a new mark and cannot redo the work already done. I have some minor hand deformities but it seems to be problematic for others as well.

Thanks!

Hi Diana,

Thanks for reaching out. I see many other users as well have supported the idea to turn off the Undo gesture. I have forwarded your feedback to our Product team.  You may also upvote and comment on the Adobe Fresco UserVoice link https://adobefresco.uservoice.com/forums/919786-adobe-fresco/suggestions/38347963-enable-to-turn-off...

This is the best way of communicating with the Engineering and Product Management teams regarding issues and suggestions so they can be implemented in future releases. 

Regards,

Ashutosh

Is there any current way or plans to turn this off in Photoshop as well? I'm having the same issue and it's been driving me up the wall. Thank you

I see this feature has not been updated. I am finding this very annoying because every time I rest my hand on the screen, it undo the action I made. And its April 2021, this thing has been wanted to have ability to turn off since 2017. Come on.

I don't know about Photoshop but it is possible to turn off the double-tap gesture for Undo/Redo in Fresco; that toggle is in App Settings > Input > Touch.

Hope that helps.

Thank you! I've been looking in the wrong place to turn it off. That's a releif!

4 years later still hitting undo constantly while trying to draw from the "gesture - tap two fingers to undo" I just am trying to draw and it constantly undoes my work. Very frustrating, hope after 4 years this has gotten resolved.

Hello @JustinRhinehart,

Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind enabling the "Disable Undo/Redo Gesture" option under input settings to see if it helps?


Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

Hello, currently using the latest version of Photoshop for iPad, and I don't have this setting. I can only turn off "Touch shortcut", which does not help with disabling the two-finger tap to undo function.

Hey @Grady12085,

I understand how frustrating it can be when you can’t find the right setting! Just a heads-up—this is the Fresco app community board, and your question is about Photoshop for iPad. You’ll likely get better assistance by posting your query on the Photoshop ecosystem community board instead.

Hope you find a solution soon! Let me know if you need help navigating the forums.

Best,

Anshul Saini
