Control-Y

For some Microsoft Windows computer applications, the key combination Control+Y will redo a previous action that the user chose to undo.

Command+Y usually does not have this meaning in the Apple Macintosh operating system, where ⇧ Shift+Command+Z often does it.

For Linux program, it usually does nothing or functions as redo. In many applications, redo is handled by ⇧ Shift+Control+Z.

In vi and emacs, Control+Y does a paste action (known as "yank").

In SAPgui this enters block select mode, allowing the user to select text from a fixed-width text output such as an ABAP report. The mouse cursor turns into a cross-hair and the user can drag it across some text in order to select it (text in reports is not selectable across vertical text lines in SAPGui).
