C-x u is the safest binding, but it's not too convenient, so you can try C-/ as well. In case C-/ doesn't work either, then choose a binding you like and put (global-set-key 'undo) in your .emacs. If C-x u doesn't work either, then there's something really wrong with your Emacs setup. Stefan PS: M-x undo does not do quite what you want, indeed. You might want to report it as a bug, but I'm not sure it'll be treated as such.
