Visual Studio Undo One Letter

Question

In visual studio text editors the undo button only undoes one letter (keystroke) at a time. I find myself just retyping things rather than hitting the undo button 50+ times to go back to 2seconds ago. I feel like undo should should undo a few words of text at a time. Is there a way to change settings to accomplish this or is it just an annoyance that we have to deal with?

Do you feel like this is frustrating as well? Cheers.

Answer 1

Undo "undoes" your last ACTION. If you highlight an entire word and hit delete then undo will bring back the entire word. If you delete single characters then it will only bring back single characters. Just hold the undo key combo down instead of hitting the keys repeatedly.

Answer 2

You could hold down the undo button. Other than that, not that I know of.
