Menus and shortcuts

Menus and shortcuts

The Edith menus reflect the logical order of using a text editor. Almost all entries in the menus have a keyboard shortcut that is a combination of Alt, Ctrl, Shift and a letter or special key. You will probably want to learn the most frequent key combinations; combinations for less frequently needed functions you will probably never learn by heart and always select from the menus.
