Why on earth does EvE not have the most important keyboard short cut ever?

Ctrl + Z?

I just wrote like a 2000 word mail and i have this sadistic thing about anything i write, where i delete it all and ctrl+z , it back, just to admire the greatest technological advance we have made in human history.
I mean we have Paste, we have Cut and we have Copy, Where the hell is Undo?!
Why has this not been fixed?!

Pretty Please CCP, i believe this feature which i am sure not only i am in dire need of, should not be too much of a hassle to put into the game.

Because EVE is about consequences. Even in word processing. HTFU.

you could always simply CTRL+C it, then delete it, then CTRL+V it instead.

Because in EVE you have to face the consequences of your actions.

CTRL+Z function has been merged with CTRL+Q.

Try it.

Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime.

There is no undo in Eve, only fresh clones.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

The only reason Eve has been around for so long... No ctrl-z.

So basically it take 8 years from an idea is born til it gets implemented in Eve. Interesting!

I wish life had a ctrl + z function. Would solve so many issues.

I just turned into an egg, did I level up? I spent an hour trying to salvage a wreck, when in local a guy said "Stop it, this is my Tempest, I was AFK"
