Shortcuts

Copy, cut, paste, undo and select all

Lies puts the newsletter together from bits of other texts. Copy, cut and paste: with the shortcuts it goes without the mouse.

Five shortcuts

Hold Ctrl (on a Mac Cmd) and press a letter: C copies the selection, X cuts it, V pastes what you copied or cut, Z undoes the last step and A selects everything.

Your left little finger holds Ctrl, another finger of your left hand presses the letter. On AZERTY A and Z sit elsewhere than on QWERTY, but the shortcut is still called Ctrl+A and Ctrl+Z.
