Auto Kerning Feature is there a way to Multi Delete and Undo

Hi,

Newbie here. I haven't found the answer in the PDF manual or in the software. I am using Font Creator 14 Pro latest version.14.0.0.2853

1> With the Auto Kern tool is there a way to "undo" if you mistakenly delete a kern or do you have to re-add it manually? Ctrl-Z doesn't seem to work.
2> Is there a way to select multiple to delete? For example when I Auto Kern it brings in all the glyps with the caps and ~ and I don't want them kerned.
3> Is there a way to "auto kern" WITHOUT replacing all the manual kerning already done? I spent hours manually kerning and then I did an "auto kern" to add the lowercase letters and it deleted all my previous kerning and started from scratch.

Thank you for your time and help.

1) Undo only works after closing the OpenType Designer, so there is no intermediate undo.

2) Not this is not possible right now.

3) Right-click the kern lookup and select Auto Kern. This way the kern algorithm will work on your existing kern pairs.

To delete multiple kerning pairs, use the code editor.

To avoid adding kerning pairs in the first place, see the options on the kerning wizard dialog.
