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.

Cmd+Z should only ever undo text entry
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?
I don't like the command+z shortcut.
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.
I did not notice a problem in Jamboard. cmd z works as I would expect it.

Looks like the preference has a typo: "⌘-z" instead of "⌘-Z" (or, honestly, "⌘Z", which is more conventional).
No one is typing
