Comment 2 for bug 109170

Wishlist for extra-functionality that Windows already has (i think Win98 had it?)

It might be trivial in terms of coding (still waaay beyond my skill-set) but is an issue of the usefulness/productivity of using Linux in comparison to Windows - "For extra productivity stick with Windows, only use Linux if you want good code" is an attitude hardly likely to attract people away from Windows and into the joys of Linux.

Undo is still missing from the Edit menu & the right-click menu (which is considerably shorter and less useful than the Windows (i can't bear to write Microsoft) one).

In Windows a long history of previous actions is remembered and right-clicking within the empty area in a file-browser window would typically have an item that might read "Undo rename" or "Undo delete", depending on what the last action had been, sometimes it's quite ridiculous quite how much it lets me undo.

Sigh, it's clearly not enough to make me go back to #$*£^ Windows but i kinda miss it when i do something dumb (quite often happens sadly)

Anyway, thanks all for your hard work in keeping me happy with Linux, particularly with Ubuntu. Well done :)
regards and happy new year from
Tom :)
