Isn't it already undo on C-/ as alternative to C-x u?

But please don't change C-x u as that is what I expect to work
always.

I use my personal Emacs with configuration and plethora of other
Emacses on other VPS-es and other computers and in those cases muscle
memory remembers defaults. On those Emacses there are no personal
configurations, so automatically I use C-x u or to change window C-x o
while in personal configuration I use s-arrows to change windows.

It is better not breaking habits.
