Description
The Edit menu commands provide basic functions for the Editor. These commands appear grayed out and inactive unless an Editor window is currently active.
The Edit drop-down menu includes commands that work on selected text in an Editor window. To select text with a mouse, click and hold the left mouse button while moving the mouse cursor over the text block. To select text using the keyboard, hold down the SHIFT key as you move the cursor over the text with the arrow keys.
