Editing activities
The file editor provides a full set of basic editing facilities including:
• Opening, saving, and printing files
• Cutting, copying, pasting, and clearing selected text
• Finding and replacing text
• Undoing changes
• Commenting and uncommenting lines
• Importing and exporting text files
• Dragging and dropping text
The file editor has a PainterBar that provides a shortcut for performing
frequently used activities. There is also a corresponding menu item (and often
a shortcut key) for each activity.
To see the shortcut keys, select Tools>Keyboard Shortcuts from the menu bar
and use the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box.
To move text, simply select it, drag it to its new location, and drop it. To copy
text, press the Ctrl key while you drag and drop the text.

Opening the To-Do
List
The To-Do List displays a list of tasks you want to do in the current project.
❖ To open the To-Do List:

To-Do List entries
You can create an entry in the To-Do List at any time to remind you about any
task you need to complete. You can create entries that are hot-linked to quickly
get you from the To-Do List to the DataWindow painter and the specific object
you need.
