Edit menu
The Edit menu undoes and redoes changes of the graph and works on what is selected on the canvas.
Items
| Item | Shortcut | What it does | Grey when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Undo | Ctrl+Z | Takes back the last change of the graph. The tooltip of the toolbar button names it, for example "Undo: add KSampler". | there is nothing to undo, or the assistant is still building |
| Redo | Ctrl+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Y | Puts back what Undo took. | there is nothing to redo |
| Cut | Ctrl+X | Removes the selected nodes and keeps them in the app's clipboard. | nothing is selected, or a history replay is showing |
| Copy | Ctrl+C | Keeps the selected nodes in the app's clipboard. | nothing is selected |
| Paste | Ctrl+V | Puts the copied nodes on the canvas, selected. | the clipboard is empty, or a history replay is showing |
| Duplicate | Ctrl+D | Copies the selected nodes and pastes them at once, 40 pixels further. | nothing is selected, or a history replay is showing |
| Select all | Ctrl+A | Selects every node on the level that is on screen (the main graph, or the open subgraph). | a history replay is showing, or the level has no nodes |
| Delete selection | Delete (on the canvas) | Removes the selected nodes and links. Backspace works too. | nothing is selected, or a history replay is showing |
How to undo a change
- Choose Edit ▸ Undo or press
Ctrl+Zwhile the cursor is not in a text field. - The canvas goes back one step. Press again to go further back.
- Changed your mind: Edit ▸ Redo (
Ctrl+Shift+Z).
The steps the assistant made one after another are undone in one step. Deleting, pasting, cutting or duplicating several nodes, and moving several nodes, are one step each too. See History, undo and replay and Copy and paste.
On a Mac, Ctrl is Cmd.
What the app says
- "Nothing to undo" / "Nothing to redo" in the tooltip of a grey button.
- "The assistant is still building. Stop it to undo."
- "This build is too old to undo in one step: the version of the graph before it is no longer kept."
Limits
- The
Deletekey acts only on the canvas: in a text field it deletes letters. - On a graph of many hundreds of nodes an undo can take a second or more.
