Cyno's Editor is written to take advantage of Java's cross-platform capability. With this feature in mind, Cyno's Editor may operate differently on distinct operating systems. Fortunately, many operating systems follow the standard 'Common User-Interface' (CUI) published by IBM.
The following keys are generally standard in editor and word processors. And they work with OS/2 and Windows. However, your system may be different.

Cyno's Editor takes advantage of the native OS cut, copy, and paste operations. For example, on OS/2 and Windows NT/95, the short-cut keys for cut, copy, and paste are SHIFT-DEL, CONTROL-INS, and SHIFT-INS, respectively. Therefore, you can mark your text, cut, copy, and paste, as you would normally perform, using these short-cut keys.
With Cyno's Editor 4.0, the keys for cut, copy, and paste, are CONTROL-X, CONTROL-C, and CONTROL-V, respectively.
In Windows NT/95 you may also click the right button on the text component, a pop-up menu with editing control is displayed. The pop-up menu includes the following operations: Undo, cut, copy, paste, delete, and select all. The pop-up menu works extremely well. And it is so easy to access.
