  <title>Undo a recent action</title>

  <p>If you make a mistake while using <app>gedit</app>, you can undo it by 
  pressing <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Z</key></keyseq>, or by clicking 
  <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Undo</gui></guiseq>. Doing so will cause 
  <app>gedit</app> to undo one set of similar actions.</p>
  
  <note><p>Undoing a "set of similar actions" means, for example, that 
  <app>gedit</app> will remove an entire word rather than removing each 
  character in the word one at a time. This makes <app>gedit</app>'s <em>undo
  </em> feature more efficient.</p></note>
  
  <note><p>You cannot undo a change after you have saved it.</p></note>
