My descriptions always sound more complicated than actual use :-)

How you imagine what others would like is how PE has it.

Step Forward is cmd-y

Step Backward is cmd-z

Undo is cmd-option-z


If the option to swap the key combos were available, it might make things
easier for many people but I also think that too many customizations can get
in the way of functionality.
