Krita has 3 toolbars. They are "File", "Edit", "Brushes and Stuff". The "Edit" toolbar is hidden by default. It holds two very frequently used actions: Undo & Redo. Because the toggling of toolbar visibility is hidden away in an obscure place, people often got confused by why the Undo/Redo buttons cannot be shown, even though "they have already been added to a toolbar". I, for one, got confused by this issue before. And today, a moderator of our local community also got confused, and they reported this to me as a "suspected bug". We both ran into this under the Android version, because we really needed those buttons on a touchscreen. Given how experienced we both were, and yet still fell for it, I think it's safe to assume more people would have been confused by this, as well. I suggest we show the "Edit" toolbar by default, and we should move it next to the "File" toolbar. I think that is where it is supposed to be.
That's a regression, it used to be visible by default not that long ago.
Git commit cb34bd4f66151a5ddafde548d282f444755965e9 by Emmet O'Neill. Committed on 24/10/2024 at 03:46. Pushed by emmetoneill into branch 'master'. GUI: Restored undo/redo mainToolBar actions. It looks like these actions were unsucessfully moved from "mainToolBar" to "editToolBar" at some point. This was causing the undo/redo buttons to not appear on the main toolbar anymore. This took a bit longer to debug than I'd have hoped due to the difficulty with bisecting and unfamiliarity with some of the xmlgui stuff.

Thank you, Emmet!
