Ask me how many times a day I get burned by the #LibreOffice race-ish condition where I hit C-f and then start typing but the C-f handler doesn't leap into action until after the other keystrokes have been processed as normal input, so I end up accidentally replacing the contents of a spreadsheet cell that I also can't easily find because where was focus...and then the cursor jumps to the search box.
(and it's possible none of this is #LibreOffice's fault -- maybe #Wayland could be to blame? It happens most often upon switching back to the window after being somewhere else)
@johns
ctrl z is your friend, is it not?
I might be misreading you but it seems to me that enough of them back to back gets you to wherever you started.
It's set to 100 undos and you can up that whatever your computer can handle.
ctrl y to redo so you get a two step back and forward ;-)
maybe that's useful information
