[Bf-committers] Why has "CTRL y" been removed from blender ?

[Damir Prebeg]

This is again question of locale problems in blender and again you are
looking on this only from one point of view - as users of standard US
keyboard layout. I use keyboard that has Z in place of Y and Y in
place of Z. While hitting Ctrl+Z is easy, hitting Ctrl+Shift+Z i quite
tedious to reach with one hand. And again I think that blender uses
nonstandard shortcut because In most applications that I use, CTRL+Y
is redo or repeat.
