Shortcut Actions in Text Mode

Undo/Redo Actions

The typical undo and redo actions are available with shortcuts or in the Edit menu:

Undo (Ctrl + Z (Command + Z on macOS)): Reverses a maximum of 200 editing actions to return to the preceding state.
Note: Complex operations such as Replace All or Indent selection count as single undo events.
Redo (Ctrl + Y (Command + Shift + Z on macOS, Ctrl + Shift + Z on Linux/Unix)): Recreates a maximum of 100 editing actions that were undone by the Undo function.

Copy and Paste Actions

The typical copying and pasting actions are available with shortcuts or in the contextual menu (or the Edit menu):

Cut (Ctrl + X (Command + X on macOS))

Removes the currently selected content from the document and places it in the clipboard.

Copy (Ctrl + C (Command + C on macOS))

Places a copy of the currently selected content in the clipboard.

The clipboard contains the precise node structure that is preserved when pasting to another place within the same document or to another document opened in the Author mode. The copied content also contains a plain Text flavor that attempts to convert the copied content to Markdown when the content gets pasted into a plain text area and also an HTML flavor that attempts to convert the copied structure to plain HTML, which can be useful for preserving the styles when pasting into editors such as MS Word.

Paste (Ctrl + V (Command + V on macOS))

Inserts the current clipboard content into the document at the cursor position.

Select All (Ctrl + A (Command + A on macOS))

Selects the entire content of the current document.

Moving XML Nodes

You can use the following shortcuts to move XML elements or XSLT variables up or down in Text mode:

Ctrl + Alt + UpArrow (Command + Option + UpArrow on macOS): Moves the node up one line.
Ctrl + Alt + DownArrow (Command + Option + DownArrow on macOS): Moves the node down one line.

Note: The requirements for these node moving actions to work are as follows:

The mechanism is designed to work without a selection. If you use these actions on a selection of content, it moves the entire selection. To make this mechanism work as intended, simply position the cursor somewhere on the line that you want to move.
A start tag must be the first text occurrence on the line where the cursor is positioned.
On the line where the element ends, only whitespaces are allowed after the end tag.
