This section shows you how to manipulate text in the Text Editor window and how to undo changes. See Inserting a Tag for tagging instructions.

Highlighting Text

CLCTreeView provides several ways to highlight text:

• Click the left mouse button and drag the insertion cursor over a range of text.
• Place the cursor at one end of a range, hold down the Shift key, and use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the other end of the range of text.
• Highlight a whole word by double-clicking the mouse over the word.
• Highlight a whole line by triple-clicking the mouse over the line.

Cutting Text

When you Cut text, that text is copied to the clipboard and is removed from your document. Follow these steps:

1. Highlight the text that you want to cut.
2. Select Edit>Cut, or hit Ctl-X on your keyboard.

Copying Text

When you Copy text, that text is copied to the clipboard and remains in your document:

1. Highlight the text that you want to copy.
2. Select Edit>Copy, or hit Ctl-C on your keyboard.

Pasting Text

When you Paste, the text that is stored in your clipboard is inserting in your document:

1. Cut or copy a selection of text.
2. Place your cursor in the text where you want the cut or copied text to appear.
3. Select Edit>Paste, or hit Ctl-V on your keyboard.

Deleting Text

Unlike Cut, deleting text removes the it without placing it on the clipboard, so you cannot paste it elsewhere. However, you can always Undo your deletion:

1. Highlight the text that you want to delete.
2. Hit Backspace or Delete on your keyboard..

Undoing Changes

When you Undo a change, CLTreeView returns your document to its state previous to your last change. You may Undo changes an unlimited number of times, back to the state of a document at its last Save:

1. Select Edit>Undo or hit Ctl-Z on your keyboard. The document returns to its state previous to your last change. You may Undo changes an unlimited number of times, back to the state of a document at its last Save

Note that Undo does not account for an insertion cursor or a selection. Only commands that actually change text in your document can be undone.

In order to reverse an undo, follow these steps:

1. Select Edit>Redo. CLTreeView re-executes the most recent change that you undid. Like Undo, Redo is unlimited.
