When editing a file in Adobe Dreamweaver CS5, the history panel (SHIFT+F10) will be grey whenever you are not in “design” view.
Not a problem unless you are editing a file which has no design view, such as, a CSS file.
Anyone who knows a workaround to activate the history-panel without having to go into design view?
There is no workaround.
When you edit the source code in Code View, and then go back to the Design View, there will be a new entry in the History panel named
Edit Source. The History panel has no awareness of individual edits made inside Code View.Instead, in Code View you should simply use
CTRL + Z(undo) andCTRL + Y(redo). If you want to undo many steps, simply hold downCTRL + Z. If you go too far, redo a few steps until it’s how you want it.Lastly, this has nothing to do with programming, so I voted to close.
