I just found the best hidden feature of Safari 1.3. It's really quite indispensable. It's also something I had no expectation of seeing, but it's actually here: Undo in text fields!

How?

Oh, from the "Edit" menu, I see it now. No contextual menu option?

[Diggory Laycock]

Undo doesn't go in a context menu - it goes in the edit menu.

Sure, I'll take it wherever it wants to hide.

I guess it was misleading to say that it is for text fields - it also works for bookmarks.

[madmacgames]

The universal shortcuts, Command + Z to undo and Shift + Command + Z to redo work as you would expect, should you not want to use the edit menu

Woo hoo!

i am too pleased that this is in it. i tried out saft and it had it, and i almost registered it for that. good thing i didn't.

darn apple, and its unquenchable desire to snuff out the little developers who help make this platform so great. Which shareware developer are they going to screw next???!!!

[Twister]

That is a much needed feature. I've been using apple+z in FireFox and am glad to see it in Safari. Rich text features are cooler though.

Undo never belongs in the contextual menu: there's no visual way to represent a change, especially since the item in question may have been deleted. As others said, it belongs in the Edit menu, where Undo has always lived.

I really wish they'd add Undo for closing a tab. If I had a penny for the number of times I've closed a tab before I've read that page...


...I'd have about 5 pence, but still, it would be a nice feature. One that Opera has already.

Actually, I'd rather hae undoing closing a window. Sometimes I think I had opened a new window, and when I close it all my tabs and everything are gone.

I'd much rather they ask for confirmation before closing a program. I love the PowerBook keyboard, but somehow on it always makes me hit between the Q and W keys, so that I wind up closing the window and then quitting the app by mistake.

Firefox by default warns when you move to close a window with multiple tabs open. I wish Safari had that too.

Firefox does this when you have more than one tab open... it annoys the hell out of me.

So turn it off.
