Edit menu

all the agents you can use use theThe Edit menu contains the following items:

  • Undo (last action). (⌘Z) Undo the last action.
  • Redo (last action). (⇧⌘Z) If no last action or last action cannot be buffered, this item reads "Can not redo".
  • Cut. (⌘X) Removes the selection and copies it to the clipboard.
  • Copy. (⌘C) Copies the current selection to the clipboard.
  • Copy View As Image. (⇧⌘Z) Copies current main view contents (except for Attribute Browsers) to clipboard as an image in both PDF and PNG format; the saved image includes the whole view (e.g. non-visible parts of a map). No save dialog is shown, simply open an image editor and create a new document from the clipboard or paste into a new empty image document. The exported data is in vector form, and can be edited as such if pasted into a vector-capable image editor. The image data will be rasterised by the image editor if it is pasted into a raster image image document, the PNG version of the copied data will be used. Preview will use the PDF data if creating a new document from the clipboard. For Outline and Chart views the image shows the tree in its current state of expansion; collapsed branches remain so in the image.
  • Paste. (⌘V) Pastes clipboard contents to current cursor position or replaces existing selection.
  • Paste and Match Style. (⌥⇧⌘V) This will cause the font typeface and size of the pasted text to pick up the settings in the note immediately preceding the paste, whether note default or further altered before the paste. Font colour and bold/italics are unaffected.
