Summary:

When creating a new Mac app the Interface Builder does not see several standard actions, amongst them redo:. This leads to developer confusion if you want to re-add an Edit menu because there is no redo action to connect to a Redo menu item.

Steps to Reproduce:

- Create a new Mac app
- view MainMenu.xib's actions on First Responder
- several items, including redo: have an exclamation mark next to them
- delete the connection to redo and the item will disappear altogether

Expected Results:

- There is an undo: action, so there should also be a redo: action
- I would expect to be able to connect a Redo menu item to a redo: action.

Actual Results:

- There is no redo: action visible
- Instead the 
- I need to create a custom action redo: to be able to make the connection

Regression:

- This is usually not noticeable because few people would remove the Edit menu.

Notes:

As a workaround you can create a custom action named redo:. It does not seem to interfere with normal operation of the app. You can also remove the custom action after making the connection if you don't mind the exclamation mark in the list of First Responder's actions.
