Commands

Use Modifier Keys to gain functionality:

•Without a modifier, the command will operate on the selected text as a block.

•shift hold this to reverse the command.

•ctrl will operate on each line individually.

•shift+ctrl combine them to reverse the command on each line individually.

The following charts show all of the possible commands along with their modifier keys.

The ... in the Command Name indicates that the command uses a dialogue box - you hold the modifier key WHEN you push the Accept button in the dialogue.

Some of the items are not useful in the menus (such as Select Word), but can be added as a button on the toolbar.

Hint: If you use the Index panel of this help file, then you can see the Commands in numerical order or you can search for them by name or number.
