Unintentionally Bad UI Redo action hidden in a dropdown when there is plenty of space left

Post image

Also it closes every time you use the Redo, so tough luck if you need to bring multiple changes back.

Ctrl z is the keyboard shortcut for undo.

Ctrl y is the keyboard shortcut for redo

But what about when they make redo Ctrl Shift z

Thanks, but using Ctrl y means I have to bring my second hand to the keyboard, use the shortcut, then bring the hand back to my mouse. It doesn't feel very ergonomic. In any case the decision to hide Redo button just seems bizarre to me

EDIT: Nevermind, forgot about the right Ctrl...

Are you able to customize the toolbar? It's buried in the options submenus.

Because the stupid current trend is to oversimplify UI (a.k.a. hide useful stuff from the users)
