[fixed] Why is there no Ctrl-Y (redo)

Why is there no Ctrl-Y function? I see that it is in the drop down menu but the keyboard shortcut doesn’t work.
Every program I have ever used that uses the copy, paste, select all or undo keyboard shortcuts has the ability to also use Ctrl-Y for redos.
I don’t know if there is some other use for the Y key that maybe I don’t know, but I figured I would ask.
Thanks for your time.

Try Shift-ctrl-Z

Now there is! Thanks for bringing this up. We’ve added Ctrl + Y as another shortcut for redo in addition to Ctrl + Shift + Z. Just deployed it… now! (honestly)

For the keyboard shortcut geeks: I didn’t know this before, but it looks like the divide between ctrl-y and ctrl-shift-z is partly a mac vs. windows thing. We are definitely happy to have both!

I figured this was the quickest way to get in touch with you.
just found out that in Easel if I select the icon of the WiFi symbol is shows up with like an eight bit style
heart with it.
