How to Undo File Operations in ComfortFiles

Updated July 20, 2026

Press ⌘Z to undo your last file operation — a rename, a move, a paste, or a delete. Deleted something by mistake? ⌘Z brings it back out of the Trash to exactly where it was. Redo with ⇧⌘Z.

What can be undone

You did⌘Z does
Renamed a fileRestores the old name
Moved / cut-pasted filesMoves them back where they were
Deleted to TrashRestores them from the Trash to the original folder
Created a file or folderRemoves it again

Undo works across the app — it doesn’t matter which tab or folder you’re looking at when you press ⌘Z.

The safety checks

Undo verifies the state of your files before acting. If something changed in the meantime — say, the file was renamed again by another app — the undo step is skipped rather than guessing and making things worse.

Why this matters

Finder has undo too, but knowing your file manager can walk back a wrong move is the difference between careful and confident. It’s also why deleting in ComfortFiles goes through the Trash, never straight to gone.
