Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?
    Yeah maybe

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

When undoing via cmd + z keypress, it can be hard to tell if the action worked because there is no notification – potentially causing users (definitely causing me) to occasionally call the undo command too many times.
It can then be hard to understand exactly what was undone – the app doesn't switch to the screen of the undone action (e.g. undo multiple times on one account might actually be undoing things on another account).

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

  • Show a notification on undo/redo, with a button inside it to reverse that action, e.g.: "Deleted transaction. Undo", "Restored transaction. Undo".
  • Display the relevant screen on undo/redo, to help orient the user.
  • Add proper undo/redo buttons near the top right (could be displayed only on hover if we prefer to avoid the clutter).

Teaching and learning

This feature is really the teaching/learning part of the undo/redo feature.

This is also important for touch screen devices without a physical keyboard.
