## Remarks

The Editor sends a command in two phases: a validation phase that asks whether anything handles the command, followed by an execution phase that performs it. Compare the command name against the constants in this class to handle these commands in custom Editor UI. In UI Toolkit, the phases are delivered as ValidateCommandEvent and ExecuteCommandEvent and the name is available through their commandName property. In IMGUI, they are delivered as events of type [EventType.ValidateCommand](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/eventtype/validatecommand.md) and [EventType.ExecuteCommand](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/eventtype/executecommand.md) and the name is available through [\_commandName](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/event/commandname.md).

To indicate that a command is handled, call the event's StopPropagation method in UI Toolkit, or [Event.Use](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/event/use.md) in IMGUI, during the validation phase.

The Editor sends this command instead of [EventCommandNames.Delete](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/eventcommandnames/delete.md) when the Delete key is pressed without modifiers, so a handler can implement a less destructive removal, such as keeping references intact. |
| [UndoRedoPerformed](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/eventcommandnames/undoredoperformed.md)         | The command name for the notification the Editor sends to its windows after an undo or redo operation completes, so they can refresh the state they display.                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
