"Edit" Menu

Undo (Ctrl+Z)

Undoes the last change made to the current file. You can undo more than once - in fact you can keep going back until the point at which the file was last saved.

Redo (Shift+Ctrl+Z)

Undoes the Undo. Not as silly as it sounds - it allows you to reapply changes that you have mistakenly Undone.


Cut (Ctrl+X)

Removes the selected text from the current file and places it in the clipboard for later Pasting.

Copy (Ctrl+C)

Makes a copy of the selected text in the current file and places it in the clipboard for later Pasting.

Paste (Ctrl+V)

Inserts the contents of the clipboard into the current file at the current cursor position. If text is selected, it will be overwritten.


Select All (Ctrl+A)

Selects all of the text in the current file.


Change Case


Insert Date (Ctrl+Alt+D)

Inserts today's date at the current cursor position. The format of the date follows the same settings as Windows.

Special Character (Ctrl+Alt+I)

Inserts the character currently selected in the Special Characters portion of the Side Panel. This isn't particularly useful as a menu item, but the keyboard shortcut can be helpful when inserting many copies of the same character.


Insert file (Shift+Ctrl+I)

Allows you to specify a file that will be inserted wholesale at the current cursor position.
