Inserting Elements into Text |
|
When editing the text content, you can insert data from the clipboard or various special elements into text. The position of the inserted element in the text is determined by the position of the text cursor at the time of calling the insert command.
When editing the contents of string text, the input box contextual menu commands and keyboard shortcuts specified in this menu are used for insertion. The insertion possibilities are limited in comparison with other types of text.
For other types of text, the way elements are inserted depends on the content editing method used.
When editing the text content in a 2D or 3D view window, the automenu, the contextual menu of the text content and the keyboard shortcuts shown there are used for insertion.
When editing the text content in the editor, the drop-down menu and the editor toolbars are used for insertion. The editor does not specify keyboard shortcuts, but you can use most of the combinations used in 2D and 3D view windows. The contextual menu of the text content in the editor has limited functionality and allows you to insert only data from the clipboard.
To work with the clipboard in a 2D or 3D view window, the following automenu commands are used:
|
<Ctrl>+<X> |
Cut |
|
<Ctrl>+<C> |
Copy |
|
<Ctrl>+<V> |
Paste |
These commands are also available in the contextual menu of the text content.
When editing the contents of string text in the parameters dialog, these commands are available in the input box contextual menu.
When editing the text content in the editor, these commands are available in the Standard toolbar, as well as in the Edit section of the drop-down menu.
Insertion from the clipboard is not possible if the clipboard contains unacceptable type of data.
The commands for inserting various elements are described separately. It is possible to insert following elements:
