Hi,
After the recent discussions to improve discoverability of Emacs, I
analyzed the Emacs menu-bar and the menu bar of other text
editors. They all have a "Redo" option close to the "Undo".
Here are some examples:
1. nano
When you launch nano on the terminal, you can see the text on the bottom
that says "M-E Redo", right bellow "Undo".
2. libreoffice write
When you open the Edit menu, you will find that the first option is "Undo"
and the second is "Redo".
3. Notepad++
Same as libreoffice write.
4. Visual Studio Code
Same as libreoffice write.
Here is my proposal:
I'm not used to the default undo system since I use undo-tree, but it
seems that Emacs 28 has added a function called undo-redo to the
simple.el file, right? My proposal is to add it to the menu-bar, right
bellow "Undo":
