Standardize Undo/Redo keyboard shortcuts

[Raydur]

The current keyboard shortcut for Undo in TestStand and LabVIEW is "Ctrl+z", which is pretty standard in most programs.

In TestStand the ReDo shortcut is "Ctrl+y", but in LabVIEW the ReDo shortcut is "Shift+Ctrl+z". Both of these are relatively common among various programs, but it would be nice if the two programs used the same shortcut for such a simple and common task.

In LabVIEW, "Ctrl+y" already does something else (VI History), but in TestStand, "Shift+Ctrl+z" does not seem to have any functionality. This means that "Shift+Ctrl+z" could also be used in TestStand without breaking any backward compatibility ("Ctrl+y" could also cause a Redo action to avoid breaking that functionality for those who are accustomed to it).

Other NI software may benefit from this standardization as well, but I am referring to LabVIEW and TestStand in this post.

I know it's a simple thing, but as much as one switches back and forth between the two integrated programs it would be nice if this was common functionality!

Thanks,

In case you are not aware, the TestStand sequence editor has the ability to customize shorcut keys. Right-click on the toolbar and choose "Customize". You can set redo to Shift+Ctrl+z if you prefer.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, Doug - I was aware, but I unfortunately have the pleasure of working on a variety of systems. Customizing them all is an option, but since these are all NI programs I was thinking a "common look and feel" concept might be worthwhile.
