Bug ID: 507707
Summary: [Feature Request] Add Ctrl+Y as Default Shortcut for
"Redo" (Alongside Ctrl+Shift+Z) on plasma
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First master
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR

Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Currently, KDE assigns Ctrl+Shift+Z as the default shortcut for the Redo
action. While functional, this differs from the widely recognized standard
Ctrl+Y used on Windows. This inconsistency can be confusing and
counterintuitive for new KDE users coming from other platforms.
Proposal:
Assign Ctrl+Y as an additional default shortcut for Redo, alongside
Ctrl+Shift+Z.
Keep Ctrl+Shift+Z for consistency with Linux/Unix conventions, but provide
Ctrl+Y out-of-the-box for familiarity.
Reasoning:
Ctrl+Y is the standard redo shortcut on Windows, and many applications
(including cross‑platform ones) use it by default.
Providing both shortcuts avoids confusion for users switching to KDE from
Windows, improving usability and user experience without removing the current
binding
