      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      When using a JTextField/Area i noticed that pressing Ctrl-Z does not undo the last change. This is a major disadvantage for java against native windows controls.

      i wonder why things like CTRL-X, CTRL-C... is supported but no undo? Should every java gui programmer in the world be forced to write its own undo-feature?!

      If somebody doesnt need this feature (cant think of an gui without undo in textfields....), make it as an option like setDefaultUndoBehaviour()

      JUSTIFICATION :
      Every Windows application has an undo for textfields/areas. Why not JAVA guis? This is a major disadvantage for java against native windows controls.


      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      write own undo functionality and set it on every textfield and area (would be hundreds or thousands, depending on size of the application)
