Zoom with the wheel is essential. And I have one of those fancy schmancy gaming mice and program some of the things to the buttons. My step backward is bound to this little button on the side that I just tap with my thumb. It's fabulous!

I have that - and I always make it so that I zoom in with the scroll wheel on my mouse. Oh and I changed my short cut keys so that my "back-up" is Ctrl+Z instead of ... I think it was Ctrl+Shift+Z. That way I can keep clicking Ctrl+Z until I get back to the step that I want. Those are the few things I can think of that I've changed. Oh I also have my history pallet thing save way more steps than what it normally saves. Like 200 or more I think. Sometimes I need to back up more than a couple steps - and the default is something small like 25 steps. That doesn't work for me - especially if I'm editing photos 
All of those are in preferences (I'm pretty sure). I'm not on my main computer right now - so I can't check |
