@@ -461,6 +461,11 @@ Normally, this command undoes the last change, moving point back to
 where it was before the change.  The undo command applies only to

+  On a graphics terminal, the easiest way to invoke @code{undo} is
+with @kbd{C-/}; that doesn't need the shift key.  On a text terminal,
+@kbd{C-/} does not exist, but usually you can type @kbd{C-_} without
+the shift key and it will work anyway.

   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.
