====Undo (Ctrl+Z)====

Undoes the last action.

{{specific|[[RichEdit clone|RE clone]]}} {{tip}} A multi-level {{feature|Undo}} feature is available. See chapter [[RichEdit clone]].

====Redo (Ctrl+Y)====

{{specific|[[RichEdit clone|RE clone]]}} Redoes the last undone action. See chapter [[RichEdit clone]].

====Cut (Ctrl+X) (Shift+Del)====

Deletes the selection and puts it into the Clipboard.

====Copy (Ctrl+C) (Ctrl+Ins)====

Copies the selection into the Clipboard.

====Paste (Ctrl+V) (Shift+Ins)====

Pastes the content of the Clipboard to the actual {{defined|insertion point}} or replaces the selection, if any.

====Swap (Ctrl+K) (Ctrl+Shift+Ins)====

Copies the selection into the Clipboard and replaces the selection with previous content of the Clipboard. If no selection is found, it works the same way as {{feature|Paste}} does.

{{tip}} It is useful to rotate several pieces from the document without having to put one of them aside for that while. Imagine that you have two words and you need to swap them. Just select the first of them, use {{feature|Copy}} and then use {{feature|Swap}} (hotkey {{hotkey|Ctrl+K}}) on the other one. Finally, go back to the first one and use {{feature|Paste}}. This way you can rotate as much things as you need.

====Go to... (Ctrl+G)====

Shows the {{feature|Go to}} dialog and then moves the caret to a specified location.

{{tip}} An optional setting may adapt the {{button|Go to Line}} behavior when the lines are {{feature|wrapped}}. See chapter [[Settings dialog]] for more details.

{{specific|[[RichEdit clone|RE clone]]}} There is a difference in the {{system|RE}} clone in the {{button|Go to Char}} behavior. See chapter [[RichEdit clone]] for more details.

====Select All (Ctrl+A)====

Selects all text in the document.

====Select Word (Ctrl+Space)====

Selects an entire {{defined|word}}, all {{defined|white-spaces}} or a single character otherwise, according to what begins or continues to the right from the actual {{defined|insertion point}}. If there was a selection before, it is de-selected and then a new selection is made. Therefore, if this feature is used subsequently several times, the selection will crawl through the text, {{defined|word}}-by-{{defined|word}}.

{{tip}} If you need to select a {{defined|word}}, but the double-click on the text selects a lot more than you wish, use this {{feature|Select Word}} (hotkey {{hotkey|Ctrl+Space}}) that behaves more softly in this manner.

{{tip}} If you are using {{feature|Ctrl+Right Arrow}} to jump through {{defined|words}}, but the jumps are too long, try this {{feature|Select Word}} (hotkey {{hotkey|Ctrl+Space}}) that behaves more softly in this manner. Note, that you will have to de-select the text, once you reach the desired position.

====Add Next Word (Ctrl+Shift+Space)====

Uses {{feature|Select Word}} feature (see above), but does not de-select the selection, if any. It extends the actual selection instead.

{{tip}} If you need to select several {{defined|words}}, but the double-click on the text selects a lot more than you wish, use this {{feature|Add Next Word}} (hotkey {{hotkey|Ctrl+Shift+Space}}) that behaves more softly in this manner.

====Delete Word (Ctrl+Del)====

Deletes the selection, if any, and then a {{defined|word}}, all {{defined|white-spaces}} or a single character otherwise, according to what begins or continues to the right from the actual {{defined|insertion point}}.

====BkSpace Word (Ctrl+BkSpace)====

Deletes the selection, if any, and then a {{defined|word}}, all {{defined|white-spaces}} or a single character otherwise, according to what begins or continues to the left from the actual {{defined|insertion point}}.

{{mycomment|Obcas mam pocit, ze pisem uplne predpokladatelne, ale zaroven sprosto popisatelne veci o veciach, ktore su i tak vsetkym intuitivne jasne. Zaujimalo by ma, ci bezny uzivatel skor pochopil intuitivny nazov typu BkSpace Word, alebo ten divny definicny popis, mimochodom plne korektny, co som zo seba prave vypotil... :-)}}

====Delete Line (Alt+Del)====

Deletes the actual line. If there is any selection it is deleted as well.

Note: If a selection is made from a middle of one line and extends to a middle of another one, all the lines of the selection, including the entire first line and entire last line, are deleted. This is similar to deleting the selection only at first, which would concatenate the beginning of the first line with the rest of the last line into a single line. Then the single concatenated line is deleted.

====Truncate Line (Ctrl+Shift+Del)====

Deletes all characters from the actual {{defined|insertion point}} up to the end of the line. If there is any selection, it is deleted as well. If the line is wrapped due to actual {{feature|word wrapping}}, it is deleted only up to the point, where it was wrapped.

====BkSpace Line (Ctrl+Shift+BkSpace)====

Deletes all characters from the actual {{defined|insertion point}} up to the beginning of the line. If there is any selection, it is deleted as well. If the line is wrapped due to actual {{feature|word wrapping}}, it is deleted only up to the point, where it was wrapped.

====Smart Return (Ctrl+Enter)====

Auto-indents the text after returning to a new line by replicating all {{defined|white-spaces}} from a first non-empty previous line. The replication stops, when the previous {{defined|insertion point}} is reached or any {{defined|non-white-space}} character is found.

Note: Usually within TED Notepad, a {{defined|non-empty}} line means a line that contains no {{defined|graphs}}. This is not the case with this feature. {{feature|Smart Return}} always replicates {{defined|white-spaces}} from a first previous line, that is of non-zero length.

{{tip}} When you are writing a list and you want each item to be indented (i.e. have some spaces at the beginning), type those spaces while writting the first item. TED Notepad will learn, how much of them you actually want for the list. Then hit {{hotkey|Ctrl+Enter}} key combination each time you would have used the {{hotkey|Enter}} key. This way, each line would contain spaces copied from the previous line, thus all lines of the list would be indented.

{{version}} The indentation works regardless to {{feature|word wrapping}}, but only in versions of 5.0.1 and above. Prior to version 5.0.1, this feature worked with previous line according to the actual {{feature|word wrapping}}.

====Copying Return (Ctrl+Shift+Enter)====

After returning to a new line, copies all characters from the first non-empty previous line, up to the previos {{defined|insertion point}}.

Note: Usually within TED Notepad, a {{defined|non-empty}} line means a line that contains no {{defined|graphs}}. This is not the case with this feature. {{feature|Copying Return}} always replicates {{defined|white-spaces}} from a first previous line, that is of non-zero length.

{{tip}} If you are writting a list and each of the lines starts with the same text (e.g. the same html tags), you may try to type the part of the line, that is the same for all of the lines and then hit {{feature|Copying Return}} (hotkey {{hotkey|Ctrl+Shift+Enter}})
subsequently several times. The text you have typed on the first line will be easily copied to several new lines this way. Then you may return to the first line and type the rest of it. When finished, use {{hotkey|Ctrl+Down Arrow}} to move to the end of a next line.

Note: {{hotkey|Ctrl+Down Arrow}} moves the caret to the next line regardless to any actual {{feature|word wrapping}}, to a corresponding position. If you will use the technique described above, the next line shall always be short enough for the {{hotkey|Ctrl+Down Arrow}} to move the caret to the very end of a next line.

Note: {{feature|Copying Return}} feature is disabled, when the selection is not empty, because the results would be usually undefined or unwanted according to the selection.

{{version}} The indentation works regardless to {{feature|word wrapping}}, but only in versions of 5.0.1 and above. Prior to version 5.0.1, this feature worked with previous line according to the actual {{feature|word wrapping}}.

====Copy Word Above (Alt+Ctrl+Space)====

Takes the rest of the word that is above the actual {{defined|insertion point}} and copies it into the document.

{{feature|Copy Word Above}} searches within the character column above the actual {{defined|insertion point}}, checking line after line, until it finds a line that is long enough to provide such word. Note, that it uses a physical character column, assuming that all characters are equaly wide. When using a proportional font, which has characters that are not equaly wide, {{feature|Copy Word Above}} may seem to work in a strange and peculiar way. This is beacuse it was primarily meant to be used with fixed-width fonts.

Note: {{feature|Copy Word Above}} always works with unwrapped lines, even if the {{feature|word wrapping}} is turned on.

====Copy Similar Line (Alt+Shift+Space)====

Takes the rest of the word that is above the actual {{defined|insertion point}} and on a line, which starts with the same phrase, and copies it into the document.

{{feature|Copy Similar Line}} searches within the lines above, checking line after line, until it finds a line that contains the same phrase as the current line, considering up to the caret position, and also that is long enough to provide such word. Note, that it uses a physical character column, where all characters are equaly wide. When using a proportional font, which has characters that are not equaly wide, {{feature|Copy Similar Line}} may seem to work in a strange and peculiar way. This is beacuse it was primarily meant to be used with fixed-width fonts.

Note: {{feature|Copy Similar Line}} always works with unwrapped lines, even if the {{feature|word wrapping}} is turned on. 

Note: {{feature|Copy Similar Line}} searches for lines in a {{defined|case insensitive}} way.

{{tip}} If you are writting a list and each of the lines starts with the same phrase (e.g. {{string|I would like to do ...}}), you may use this {{feature|Copy Similar Line}} at the beginning of the each such line. Hit {{hotkey|Alt+Shift+Space}} hotkey several times, up until you reach the position where the lines shall differ. This may save a lot of typing or copy-pasting. Note, that {{feature|Copy Similar Line}} always searches for a similar line, thus you may also work with two or more such phrases (e.g. {{string|I would like to do ...}} and {{string|I would hate to do ...}}) simultaneously. Just use {{feature|Copy Similar Line}} up until the position, where they differ, then give it a hint of several characters (e.g. {{string|l}} and {{string|h}}) and then keep copying until no more hints can be given.

====Complete Word (Ctrl+D)====

Tries to complete an ''(unfinished)'' word according to the dictionary calculated from the actual document. E.g. Completes word {{string|hel}} to {{string|hello}}, i there was a {{string|hello}} already in the document.

More accurately, it takes a word just before the caret as a pattern and then searches the entire document for any matching words that consist from that pattern plus some more {{defined|word letters}} appended. Matching words are {{defined|uniqued}} and displayed in a listbox to be chosen for the completion.

Note, that the document must already contain the word {{string|hello}} to be able to complete pattern {{string|hel}} to {{string|hello}}. Furthermore, if the document contains word {{string|help}} too, the pattern {{string|hel}} can be completed to both {{string|hello}} and {{string|help}}. User may always choose, which one, from a dialog.

The search for matching words is performed with {{defined|ignoring case}}, but matching words are then {{defined|uniqued}} in a {{defined|case sensitive}} way, therefore completion of pattern {{string|hel}} may result in matches like: {{string|Hello}}, {{string|hello}}, {{string|help}} and also {{string|HELL}}.

Optionally, matching words can be sorted alphabetically in the {{dialog|Complete Word}} dialog. Otherwise, if unsorted, their order is the same as they precede the caret. Therefeore, when typing a sentence {{string|What a word can cause to the wide wild world.}} and then trying to complete a pattern {{string|w}} in a next sentence, matching words would follow as: {{string|world}}, {{string|wild}}, {{string|wide}}, {{string|word}} and {{string|What}}. For details on turning the sorting on in this dialog, see [[Settings dialog]].

Note: The pattern is a part of a word just preceding the actual caret position. Therefore, no selection is allowed. Furthermore, when
completion is invoked inside of a word, only the preceding part of this word is taken as a pattern.

Note: When a word completion is about to be used without a preceding word (e.g. the caret is placed after a {{defined|white-space}} or some other {{defined|non-word}} character), all words in the document are matching. The complete word listing returned in such case may be quite lengthy, therefore, use this feature carefully on very big files.
