We should decide which action to use for undo. To me the most intuitive is "ESC"-key. Any other suggestions?

Also it should be inplement such that the dirty flag is not set if and only if the textfield change is the only change in the given context.

I would prefer strg + z

I think str+z is more for a context where you can go back a certain number of steps. ESC for simply go to the original, unsaved state, which is the case here, IMO. If you want to implement it for multiple steps in the same textfield I agree to str+z.

In Firefox and Chrome you using both, Ctrl+z and ESC, are possible, however depending on the context . For comboboxes the behavior appears a bit unclear, though:

  • FF
    • Ctrl+z & ESC: DOM text fields (clears the whole field) Chromium
    • Ctrl+z : DOM text fields (steps back in history, a step in history is recorded when focus leaves the field)
    • Ctrl+z & ESC: search and location bar (clears the whole field)

I suggest to allow for both, Ctrl+z & ESC, and to go without an editing history for ease of implementation.
