System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.22000-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1070/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 456.71

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.1.2, branch: master, commit date: 2022-03-31 17:40, hash: cc66d1020c
Worked: Blender 3.0 Unsure of exact version I had installed but I was not on 3.1.
Changed in 0e1bb232e6

Short description of error
Unable to assign shortcut to Undo History using Right Click Menu.

Right Click Menu only shows "Assign to Quick Favorites"

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Using default startup file, Edit > Right Click Undo History

I recently had my OS SSD fail and had to reinstall Windows as well as all my applications fresh. Going through my setup of a new install of Blender 3.1.2 I wanted to reassign my previous shortcut for the Undo History Menu (Ctrl + Alt + Z) but was unable to view the Assign Shortcut option when right clicking.

Undo History was also missing from the "Blender" Keymap when searching.

To resolve this, I switched to the Blender 2.7X Keymap which did have the Undo History shortcut, copied the shortcut "ed.undo_history" and assigned that manually in the default "Blender" Keymap.

Thanks for the report.

Unable to assign shortcut to Undo History using Right Click Menu

Assigning shortcut to menus is not possible I think.

@ideasman42 , can you take a look?

I was just going to report this. I always map Undo History to Ctrl+Alt+Z, but now the dropdown option that made it possible to create the shortcut is missing.
It's still possible to create a custom key binding in the Window category and use the

ed.undo_history

python command to summon the old Undo History operator. New users or less tech-savvy users have no conceivable way of figuring it out.

In fact, with how useful the Undo History is, I would suggest that Ctrl+Alt+Z should be set as the default shortcut for the Undo History.
Using the list is always mode convenient and preferable that just pressing Ctrl+Z repeatedly. Many other software have dedicated history windows, e.g. Photoshop.
I see no reason why it shouldn't have it's own shortcut in Blender, especially considering it had a shortcut in 2.7 and the key combination is not used for anything in 3.1.

Agree with Alphyn 100%. Undo history is too useful not to have or be able to set a shortcut for it in a straight forward way.

Considering the number of duplicates, I think we can confirm this issue. It seems handy to add a shortcut to bring back the Undo History menu as it was before commit 0e1bb232e6

@ideasman42 hi, can we backport this to 3.3 and 3.6?
