I spent some time thinking through a post, and used "command-Y" to mean "undo" for a small edit. The entire post draft disappeared, irretrievably. Is there a way to get it back, and/or to avoid this in future?
Thanks,

(24,380 posts)In most other programs, it's command-Z, command-Y. I tried adding the shift, but that doesn't work either. Oh well. Thanks for the suggestion!

Let's say you typed then "undid" the phrase "l screwed up." (Without the quotes)
First, press and hold the cap key and type the letter I. Release the cap key. Then hit the space key. Then hit the s key, then the c key, then the r key, then the w key, etc etc etc.
To avoid this in the future, avoid the command-y key combo.
You're welcome.
