Photoshop CC 2019: How do I enable "classic" undo

Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts... and select the checkbox for Use Legacy Undo Shortcuts

 

Thank you very much!
Appreciate it.

Yeah, I think I like the other undo. I got used to it.

It's more of an A/B comparison.

I liked the old undo better and have set 2019 accordingly.  For us who make a living with PS... it's about speed and the ability to get work out fast.  This could have been the same disaster the "improved crop tool" was in CS6 and thanks to Adobe for finally fixing that and providing us with the "Use Legacy" shortcuts.

I know this has been answered, but as a professional PS user, the ctrl+z undo/redo toggle was much faster. If I wanted to toggle between states, I simply pressed ctrl+z in rapid succession, with no need to change shortcut keys. It was fast and efficient. That's the name of the game for those of us who get paid to work in PS. Now if I want to toggle between states I have to go from ctrl+z to ctrl+alt+z and then back to ctrl+z. That is not an improvement, you've simply added a step to the process. This is time wasting annoyance.

Seems no one has mentioned F1. I've never used the old Cmd-Z, always changing that in kbsc for Step Backwards. Now I still change it to that, but have also always used F1 (always included with the old Undo kbsc) to toggle, and that still works.

My Wacom Intuos Pro tablet settings will not register any changes I make to them, but only in Photoshop; other apps work fine. I'm using a Mac on OS Mojave. I noticed because the 2019 update changed the "Step backward" command from CMD-Option-Z to simply CMD-Z. I tried to change my tablet's button layout to accommodate, but the changes never registered. Frustrated, I reset all the settings, and now they will not change and I'm stuck without any button shortcuts or pen settings for Photoshop. Is there a fix for this, or is this a genuine bug?

When I press several times Undo and then want to Toggle Last state and actual it doesn't always work.

There are thousands of people with thousands of hours (each) of muscle memory with the old undo behavior, and now everyone has to figure out how to put it back--and a lot of people probably won't realize they can put it back, and suffer as a result.

Please don't muck around with keyboard bindings.  I still can't resize the canvas without looking at the menu, because someone blindly changed the image size/canvas size menu hotkeys years ago.  (I don't know what the keys were, only that my fingers knew them and I didn't have to think about it, and once my muscles learn a hotkey for something that deeply, it's nearly impossible to change.)

Please don't make core UI changes just to make first-day novices happy, at the expense of your actual, experienced user base.

to be clear that doesn't enable classic undo at all. CTRL+SHIFT+Z doesn't do anything, even with "classic undo enabled"

it seems to allow CTRL+Z by itself to step undo. why they removed step undo I have no idea. seems idiotic.

I wanted to test the above with the latest version.

So I made a pencil scribble and hit undo.

I expected it to just undo the pencil. It went back 2 steps and undid an important time consuming transformation. Ouch.

Think I'll be careful with this and keep History open from now on.
