Is it possible to quickly revert an autocorrect with a single keystroke or combination? As described in Shortcut to revert autocorrect change , the "correct" way to do it is:

  1. backspace
  2. wait
  3. down-arrow
  4. enter
  5. space

This is far too slow, and I often reflexively hit Command-Z instead, which has other unintended effects.

Are there other options, ideally without the use of backspace, arrows, or waiting?

Any advice welcome, Thank you!

Try this:

↑ up arrow after you type the word that autocorrects, but before hitting the spacebar.

This should dismiss the autocorrect without making the change in the first place.

  • Clever, and successful, if anticipated. Unfortunately I rarely expect this before hitting spacebar, and a solution that would work after hitting the spacebar would be ideal. Thank you! – here Aug 19 '15 at 02:50
  • I hear ya. Hope we can find a simpler solution. – bjbk Aug 19 '15 at 04:05
