I disagree with the title. I think some refinements are all it needs to fix the issues some users may be facing. If the current behaviour were to be reverted, it should be offered as an option. For many long-time Safari users, ⌘Z is the intuitive way. It’s so much simpler to activate and I miss it in other browsers that only support ⌘⇧T.

    Disclaimer:I was never a huge fan of the cmd+z shortcut in Safari.

    I'd suggest no longer binding the cmd+z shortcut to reopening closed tabs when a text-input has focus. Maybe that could be a middle ground for those that like the shortcut for reopening tabs and those that think it shouldn't hijack the text-input shortcuts?

    Ok so the concensus seems to be that cmd z to reopen a tab should not work if focus is in a text input field?

      I would much rather prefer having it completely disabled. It could be added as a preference.

        Vlad This has a problem when the user is editing something not in a text input field, such as drawing. This is especially problematic when using Google Jamboard.

          I did not notice a problem in Jamboard. cmd z works as I would expect it.

            Vlad Nevermind about jamboard, I'm not able to cause it to work incorrectly. It might just be a mistake on my hand.

              Looks like the preference has a typo: "⌘-z" instead of "⌘-Z" (or, honestly, "⌘Z", which is more conventional).
