Control-Y


Control-Y is a common computer command. It is generated by holding and pressing the key on most Computer Keyboards.
In most Windows applications this keyboard shortcut functions as Redo, reversing a previous Undo. In some programs such as Microsoft Office it repeats the previous action if it was something other than Undo.
Apple Macintosh systems use for Redo. In general a shortcut on Macintosh using matches up with a shortcut on Windows using, this is one of the most noticeable conflicts.
Many programs support both and for Redo, due to this conflict. But quite a few remain where only one or the other shortcut works.
