Question

I have no undo button and I must scream

I have a windows 10 tablet.

 

WITHOUT SPENDING MONEY ON HARDWARE, how do I add the shortcut undo with either the pen or my fingers? Having to open a very tiny menu at the edge of the screen and wait several seconds for it to load is exponentially increasing the amount of time I spend drawing and I need to complete literal thousands of drawings.

 

Fresco will not work. It cannot open large files.

Perhaps this page will help. It covers the touchscreen gestures for Photoshop on Windows, and includes the three-finger left swipe, which is Undo.

Some apps have an icon for undo/redo in the toolbar. Photoshop doesn't. You would need an action in button mode or a third party legacy CEP extension panel or a new UXP panel to have these permanently visible and available to the pen.

Unfortunately, there is only one button and it is right click. Even if it could be mapped, I need to be able to right click things.

Is there no way to map it to the pen buttons? These basic shortcuts are hard wired in Windows and are a part of the operating system.

Without a keyboard?!

What happened to Ctrl+Z ? If that doesn't work, you have some other application on your system that hijacked it for some other purposes. Ctrl+Z is fairly universal in Windows itself and Windows applications.
