where it was before the change. The undo command applies only to
changes in the buffer; you can't use it to undo cursor motion.
On a graphics terminal (including text-mode frames displayed by a
terminal emulator, such as @command{xterm}), the easiest way to invoke
@code{undo} is with @kbd{C-/}; that doesn't need the Shift key. On a
text terminal, @kbd{C-/} does not exist, but in many cases you can type
@kbd{C-_} without the Shift key (in effect pressing @kbd{C--}) and it
will work anyway, at least with keyboards that produce the US ASCII
character set.
Although each editing command usually makes a separate entry in the
undo records, very simple commands may be grouped together.
Sometimes, an entry may cover just part of a complex command.

C-_ is an alternative undo command; it works exactly the same as C-/.
On some text terminals, you can omit the shift key when you type C-_.
On some text terminals, typing C-/ actually sends C-_ to Emacs.
Alternatively, C-x u also works exactly like C-/, but is a little less
convenient to type.
