And used to be all about ending a transmission or closing a file.
Just as ctrl-c is for aborting the run of a DOS command. And ctrl-v is for
introducing a literal ctrl-character into a DOS Edit session. Surprised?

[Undo is] certainly a feature supported by some Android *apps*,
though I'm not sure how far it is supported by the system itself.


It is always application dependent. Not system.


Not *always*. In Windows, an edit control is part of the Windows
"system" and supports one level of undo all by itself, but if an app
wants to support multiple levels then it will have to implement its own
undo/redo framework.

I'm not aware of anything in Android itself that gives any support to
even one level of undo functionality at system level, though.

Er, I know it as 'suspend'.

However, the 'modern' usage in (windows) gui programs which the op is
referring to is not new nor particularly surprising.

Yes. Didn't realise they work in DOS. I know their functionally in *nix
systems.

None of the above. Sorry you took it wrong. You are reading between
the lines too much.


Thank you. Accepted.

Wasted a day trying to write a longer, better ansewr. ;-(
