How to Redo on Windows With a Hotkey
Redoing is undoing your undo, which might sound simple but having a keyboard shortcut can be very useful for efficiency. With Windows, you can use hotkeys to redo your changes quickly and easily.
Here’s how you can do it:
1. Press the “Ctrl+Y” keys on your keyboard. This is the most common keyboard shortcut for redoing in Windows.
2. If you prefer to use the mouse, you can click on the “Redo” option in the “Edit” menu in your application. Some programs, like Microsoft Word, also have a redo button on the toolbar.
3. If the “Ctrl+Y” shortcut doesn’t work in your application, you might need to set it up manually. Go to your application’s preferences or settings and look for the keyboard shortcuts section. In some applications, you can also customize the toolbar and add a redo button.
4. Some applications, like Adobe Photoshop, have different keyboard shortcuts for redoing depending on the tool you are using. Make sure to check the application’s documentation or help section for specific instructions.
