Menus and shortcutsMenus 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.
