Mouse and clipboard functions


The Editor uses standard mouse functions: click and drag the left mouse button to select a block of text, double-click the left button within a word to select that word, and triple-click to select an entire line. You can also select a block of text by clicking to place the insertion point where the block should begin, holding down SHIFT, and then clicking to determine the end of the selection.

You can select text and move it to and from the clipboard using the Cut, Copy, Paste, and Delete commands, which are available in the Edit menu, on the Edit toolbar, and in the contextual menu (accessed by right-clicking on the selected text). You can use Undo to reverse the previous command and Redo to reverse the reversal. These commands are available in the Edit menu, on the Edit toolbar, in various contextual menus, and by using keyboard shortcuts.
