I have added:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-z") 'undo)

to my ~/.emacs file. But still when I press Ctrl+z nothing is undone even when I've had GNU Emacs open for a while and done several things in my present buffer. You can even see in my Edit menu that Undo isn't set to my desired keybinding: Ctrl+z.

Here is my ~/.emacs file, if relevant.

  • The edit menu doesn't show you every key sequence. What does C-h C-k C-z tell you? – icarus Dec 8 '16 at 5:59

  • Sorry, my mistake. I should have asked what does C-h k C-z tell you? Anyhow you have your solution, so no need to answer. – icarus Dec 8 '16 at 6:25

Turns out that it seems to be related to me still having a (cua-mode t) line in my ~/.emacs file. After I removed this line, the line:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-z") 'undo)

in my ~/.emacs file worked just fine.
