Enable Multiple Undos in Photoshop

How to enable multiple undos in Photoshop with a keyboard shortcut

I use a number of computer programs and have gotten use to using Ctrl+Z to undo previous actions.  The issue I have found is that Photoshop is set to undo only the most recent action when you hit Ctrl+Z.  In order to perform multiple undos in Photoshop, you have to use Ctrl+Alt+Z.  This may seem like a small thing, but it becomes frustrating when you are use to using just Crtl+Z.

Fortunately, Photoshop allows us to customize our keyboard shortcuts.  In this tutorial, I will show you how to customize the Photoshop keyboard shortcut so that Ctrl+Z will perform multiple undos.

Need more details?  Check out the step by step instructions below.

Step 1

Open Photoshop and go to Window/Workplace/Keyboard Shortcuts & Menus

Once you have clicked on  Window/Workplace/Keyboard Shortcuts & Menus, a new window will open.  Click on the Keyboard Shortcuts tab and select “Step Backward”.

Step 3

Change the shortcut to Ctrl+Z by hitting Ctrl+Z on your keyboard.  You will receive a warning message that says that the shortcut is already in use.  Go ahead and select Accept and Go to Conflict.

Step 4

You will now notice that the shortcut for the Undo/Redo option is now blank.  Go ahead and click on the empty shortcut field and hit Alt+Ctrl+Z on your keyboard.  Now go ahead and click on Accept and then on OK.

That’s it, you’re all done.  Do you have any Photoshop tips that you would like to share?  I would love to hear them.  Just drop a note in the comments section>
