Summary: have an undo action in imhtmls
Initial Comment:
I understand that Gaim is originally a Linux application,
but on Windows, CTRL+Z is and will never be "minimize",
but always "undo".
Binding CTRL+Z to "minimize" therefore makes no sense
on Windows. ALT+SPACE+N is "minimize" on Windows.
CTRL+Z is undo. Gaim shouldn't do this any different than
any other Windows application, imho.

Adding comment from #1501905 (swartzja - swartzja):
I would love it if there was a way to undo the typing
i've done in a conversation window. Pretty much every
other windows application has that option and I find
myself constantly typing Ctrl-Z to try and undo things
I didn't mean to type.

Adding comment from #1417095 (pomp - pomp):
hello. I notice how like the "ctrl+z" shortcut key is
not useable in gaim...Is that true? It would be cool
to have that implemented in gaim so its easy to undo
what you may type of paste into a conversation and what
not....

Adding comment from #1355721 (fisheromen1031 - fisheromen1031):
gaim needs an 'undo' feature. It is too easy to accidently
delete a rather long message and be unable to remember
what you typed. If gaim could simply store text inputs
between major user editting behaviors. For instance,
after a message is sent by the user, gaim should store
all user text inputs and if text is highlited and deleted or
replaced, gaim should be able to recall the text that was
present before the delete/replacement.

Gaim 2.0 does still not support any undo functionality on
Windows as far as I can tell, however CTRL+Z is not bound to
"minimize" as it was in 1.x, which is a minor improvement. But
shouldn't we see an undo function in Gaim 2.0 too?

depends on the odds of someone submitting a patch. we
probly won't implement it.
and yes, I'd guess that doing nothing is superior than doing
something you don't expect.

You're suggesting we just unbind ctrl-Z for now? What are
the chances of gaim supporting undo in the future?

As we move towards gaim 2.0.0, changes have been made that should
fix your report. Even if it does not, the code base will be so
different as to require that the debugging process start over.
Unfortunately, we are not yet sure when 2.0.0 will be released.
Still, in the interests of keeping these trackers useful, this
report is being closed, since, again, I believe the changes that
have been made so far will prove to have solved it.

I fifth? sixth? this thread, this one is annoying me too.
Indeed, Mac OS and Windows share Z as undo, and I do
sometimes want to undo something I've typed in gaim. I find
it disconcerting for two reasons I guess - my first reaction
to a disappearing window is to think the program crashed
(the way a Macintosh works, dead apps are cleared from the
GUI before a crash is reported) and then I think that I did
something bad and closed my entire window of tabs. Finally I
remember that it just made the window go away, and go dig it
back out again.
And yes, I'd like an undo please too :)

Right on, hiware. The main problem isn't exactly that CTRL+Z
minimizes the window, but that there isn't an undo function,
and even if there was, it isn't bound to CTRL+Z, but some
other wierd combination totally unknown to all Windows users
in existence.

The problem is simply that. Ctrl+Z is undo in Windows, not
minimize.
I use shortcut keys all the time and if I want to delete the
last word I'll hit Ctrl+Delete, or if I want to remove the
whole line I'll hit Shift+Home+Delete. Now, if for some
reason I instantly change my mind and want that word or line
back, it's by habit I press Ctrl+Z for undo, because that's
exactly what it's meant (in Windows) to do and I expect it
to do. Windows common dialog textboxes natively support
these shortcut keys. So does AIM. There is no reason why
Gaim shouldn�t either, regardless of whether it uses GTK or
Windows API. If it�s ported to run on Windows it should act
like Windows, not Linux.
Half my problem is there is no undo at all and the other
half (and if there is an undo, why I don't know about it) is
Ctrl+Z does not do undo.

First, CTRL+Z is also undo in most GNU/Linux apps. And
Alt+Space+N also works in Metacity (the default Window
Manager in Gnome)
What's the problem anyway of having CTRL+Z as minimize in MS
Windows?
Do you need an undo somewhere (like the text input box)?
If you need the CTRL+Z for undo instead minimize then it's
OK for me to remove that keybinding, but if you only want to
cut that keybinding because you hit it accidentally, then
some users that like that keybinding won't like it removed.

Maybe Gaim could have a "Windows" and "Linux" keyboard
scheme users could choose between, so that Linux users could
have the Linux keyboard scheme they're used to, and Windows
users the scheme they're used to.
That way, you could just add an extra layer between the
shortcut keys and the function they trigger, and add a scheme
file in that layer that binds keys to the different functions.
Either way, it is not very intuitive to a Windows user that
CTRL+Z minimizes the window instead of undoing the last
action.

We're talking about Windows here, and Ctrl+D does nothing in
Windows, let alone a text box. To minimize a window in
Windows you press Alt+Space+N. Ctrl+Z is universal under
Windows and Mac (Command+Z) as the "undo" key combination.

i think control+z to minimize is just right.
control+z is generally used on *nices to put a program to the
background.

Yes! This is quite annoying, especially since there's not
even an undo option in the context menu.
