I have a textarea and a button. Clicking the button causes text to be inserted into the textarea.

Is there a way to allow a user to press Ctrl/Cmd+z to undo the insertion of text and revert the textarea to its previous state?

I found original question here already but it's quite old and most upvoted answer won't work anymore for any major browser. What's 2017 approach for this?

Why not adding a bounty to the other question, saying that the answers are not relevant anymore and you are looking for a "2017 approach"? – Dekel Jan 16 '17 at 11:47

@Dekel I didn't think about it, I just made a bounty +500! – Peter Jan 16 '17 at 12:33
And you got my vote on several other answers you wrote :) – Dekel Jan 16 '17 at 12:35
why not just replace the added text with "", sounds like enough for your use case – Velimir Tchatchevsky Jan 16 '17 at 13:16
