I’ve really become reliant on an UNDO key–is there some version of that in Joplin, like a a set of hotkeys? ctrl+whatever? I’m in Windows 10, if that helps.

Ctrl-Z works in the editor

awesome sauce! thank you, CalebJohn.🙂  
I'm still learning as I go, and the more i use Joplin, the better i like it. Of course, there are features i think we'd all like to see, but hey. Much better than everything out there, in my estimation.

Ctrl-Z for undo and Ctrl-y for redo (reverse undo), are standard Windows hotkeys and work in most applications. Always worth a try.

Note. That key combination is pretty universal for every operating system. Apple, because they must for some reason be different only for the sake of being different, use a Command key or some such instead of a Control key.

Also…  
CTRL-c for copy.  
CTRL-v for paste.  
CTRL-x for cut.

This stuff saves you massive amounts of time.

Ctrl-Z & Ctrl-Y don’t seem to work in the WYSIWYG editor - at least not in Joplin 1.0.224 (prod, win32) Ctrl-C,V,X do work.

After making changes to a note, you will see an arrow appear on the top bar, one for undo and another for redo.
