Keyboard shortcut | Function | Use this shortcut to... |
|---|---|---|
Ctrl+C | Copy | Copy selected text to the Clipboard. |
Ctrl+X | Cut | Cut to the Clipboard. |
Ctrl+V | Paste | Paste from the Clipboard. |
Move (drag) or copy (Ctrl + drag) a file or directory from the file manager to a directory in the Project tool window.

Open any file for editing, by dragging it from a file manager to the editor.
