Just a small detail, but: why not spend a sub menu to the undo/redo buttons, so you can save the history button completely?

I could imagine:

- press the undo button once: undo
- hold the undo button: the history pops up
- keeping the undo button pressed + move up: to scroll back in history (not showing the history page, but see what all is happening on screen). Dependent how far you move the slider, the faster you go back.
- same for the redo (of course: with advancing in undone actions).

It doesn’t solve anything except adding unnecessary gesture imo.

You can remove both the undo AND redo buttons to save space (interface menu).  
Once you used 2/3 fingers to undo/redo, they are basically useless, almost no one uses these buttons.
