Editing activities

The file editor provides a full set of basic editing facilities including:

Using the file editor’s PainterBar and menu bar

The file editor has a PainterBar that provides a shortcut for performing frequently used activities. There is also a corresponding menu item (and often a shortcut key) for each activity.

To see the shortcut keys, select Tools>Keyboard Shortcuts from the menu bar and use the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box.

Dragging and dropping text

To move text, simply select it, drag it to its new location, and drop it. To copy text, press the Ctrl key while you drag and drop the text.
