Although each editing command usually makes a separate entry in the
undo records, very simple commands may be grouped together.
Sometimes, an entry may cover just part of a complex command.

C-_ is an alternative undo command; it works exactly the same as C-/.
+On some text terminals, you can omit the shift key when you type C-_.
On some text terminals, typing C-/ actually sends C-_ to Emacs.
Alternatively, C-x u also works exactly like C-/, but is a little less
convenient to type.
