Correcting accidental shortcut usage

A method includes receiving, at one or more computing devices, user input indicative of a plurality of text characters, wherein at least one text character from the plurality of text characters is operable to cause execution of a shortcut function of an application; determining, at the one or more computing devices, whether the plurality of text characters at least partially matches one or more words from a word list; and executing, at the one or more computing devices, an undo function of the application in response to the shortcut function if the plurality of text characters at least partially matches one or more words from the word list.
