When looking at the shortcut key listings, keep in mind the following:

When referring to shortcuts, use of the plus (+) symbol denotes holding multiple keys down on the keyboard in the indicated sequence. For example, Shift+F1 means holding down the Shift key then pressing the F1 key. Likewise, Shift+Ctrl+PgUp means holding down the Shift key then holding down the Ctrl key at the same time and pressing the PgUp key.
Where use of the standard mouse buttons is made, Click refers to a single click of the left-hand mouse button, Double-Click refers to two clicks of the left-hand mouse button, and Right-Click refers to a single click of the right-hand mouse button.

Tab	Tab forwards from the current cursor position. For standard tabbing, the number of characters involved in the tab is determined by the entry in the Tab Stops field, on the Text Editors - General page of the Preferences dialog. The default entry in this field is `4` - therefore this command will tab forwards four characters at a time. For smart tabbing - with the Smart tab option enabled on the Text Editors - General page of the Preferences dialog - this command will tab forwards on the current line, in keeping with the start of new words on the previous line.
Shift+Tab	Tab backwards from the current cursor position. For standard tabbing, the number of characters involved in the tab is determined by the entry in the Tab Stops field, on the Text Editors - General page of the Preferences dialog. The default entry in this field is `4` - therefore this command will tab backwards four characters at a time.
Text Deletion
Backspace	Delete a single character to the left of the cursor. If one or more characters in the document are selected, the command will delete the selection.
Delete	Delete a single character to the right of the cursor. If one or more characters in the document are selected, the command will delete the selection.
Ctrl+Backspace	Delete all characters back to the beginning of the first word immediately to the left of the current cursor position.
Ctrl+Q+Y	Delete all characters from the current cursor position to the end of the current line.
Ctrl+T	Delete all characters up to the beginning of the first word immediately to the right of the current cursor position.
Miscellaneous
Shift+Ctrl+C	Clear any filtering that is currently applied to the active document.
Ctrl+Enter	Automatically open a document that the cursor is currently over. Note that this feature will only open documents that are stored in the same location on the hard disk as the text document making the call. If the document does not reside in that directory, an Open dialog will appear, from where you can browse to and open the required document. If the document is already open when a call is made, the document will become the active document. Note also that this feature will only open documents that have no spaces in their filenames. For example, `Example_Design_File.SchDoc` and `ExampleDesignFile.SchDoc` will both open using this feature, but `Example Design File.SchDoc` will not.
Insert	Toggle the text mode between Insert (additional text is added into the document at the cursor position) and Overwrite (additional text overwrites existing text as you type). The current mode is shown on the Status Bar. This feature can also be toggled from the Text Editors - General page of the Preferences dialog by enabling/disabling the Insert mode option.
Shift+Ctrl+n (n=1-9)	Store the current location of the text cursor into location marker n. A new location assigned to the location marker will overwrite a previously defined location.
Ctrl+n (n=1-9)	Move the text cursor to a predefined location on the current document, as stored in location marker n. If the applicable location marker has not been set, the text cursor will remain at its current location.
