Describe the bug
Undo and Redo do nothing. The editor's own Keyboard Shortcuts modal advertises them under the FIXED section:
| Command |
Displayed binding |
| Undo |
Ctrl + Z |
| Redo |
Ctrl + Shift + Z / Ctrl + Y |
None of the three has any effect. Verified against three different kinds of document mutation:
| Mutation |
Ctrl+Z result |
Add region via shortcut (Z / T / C / S) |
no effect |
Delete selected region (Ctrl+D) |
no effect |
| Rename the project from the top bar |
no effect |
This is not an automation artifact: Ctrl+D (Delete Selected) works in the exact same focus context, so Ctrl chords do reach the renderer. Only undo/redo are inert.
Root cause
This looks like an unfinished feature rather than a regression. The shortcut hook is wired, but its callback is an explicit placeholder — src/components/ai-edition/NewEditorShell.tsx:162:
useUndoRedoShortcuts(() => {
// ponytail: placeholder, wire when undo stack merges with history
});
Supporting observations:
pushHistory is fed, from setDocument in src/lib/ai-edition/store/projectStore.ts:276, so snapshots are being recorded.
src/hooks/useEditorHistory.ts — the previous editor's history — is no longer imported by any component; its only importer is src/components/video-editor/editorDefaults.test.ts. It was orphaned when the v3 editor became the only editor.
- Nothing covers
src/lib/ai-edition/store/undo.ts, so CI stays green on this indefinitely.
Expected behavior
Ctrl+Z reverts the last document mutation and Ctrl+Shift+Z / Ctrl+Y reapplies it — or, if completing the undo stack is out of scope for the current release, the two rows are removed from the Keyboard Shortcuts modal so the app stops advertising a capability it does not have.
To Reproduce
- Record anything and let the editor open.
- Put the playhead somewhere on the timeline and press
Z to add a zoom region.
- Press
Ctrl+Z.
- The region is still there. Same with
Ctrl+Y and Ctrl+Shift+Z.
- For the control: select the region and press
Ctrl+D — it is deleted, proving the chord is delivered. Ctrl+Z does not bring it back.
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 (26200)
