I've answered this question more than once too.  I think this proves that it's
failed experiment---although the help menu tells you you can use `u' to
undelete an item, it gives you no clue as to how to get to it, and `K' is
certainly not something you'd just happen to try on the off chance.  I would
suggest that `j', `k' normally do *not* skip deleted items---you're not
normally moving over so many that it makes a significant difference---use `J',
`K' for that.  It's okay for commands (like `d') that move the cursor as a
side effect.
