# Edit The Edit menu contains commands for inserting, deleting, and modifying your document. ## Undo Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Z Undoes the specified operation. You can undo multiple operations by pressing the shortcut multiple times. ## Redo Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Y Redoes the operation last undone, in the same order. ## History Displays a list of operations that were performed on the image, and allows you to navigate to a specific one. ## Purge Undo Keyboard Shortcut: None Clears the undo buffer. This prevents you from undoing any actions past this point – only newly-performed actions will be undoable. ## Mark Clean Keyboard Shortcut: None Marks the document as unmodified. This will prevent you from being prompted to save unsaved changes until your next edit. ## Cut Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+X Copies the selection to the clipboard and deletes it from the document. ## Copy Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+C Copies the selection to the clipboard but does not delete it from the document. ## Copy Merged Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+C Copies the selection, including any visible data from other layers, to the clipboard but does not delete it from the document. ## Paste Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+V Pastes the contents of the clipboard into your document as a new selection. If the size of the image being pasted is larger than the document canvas size, you will be prompted to resize the canvas or to keep it as-is (which will allow you to move the selection within the bounds). This was the default behavior of Microsoft Paint prior to Windows XP. You may suppress the dialog if you desire, in which case the canvas will automatically resize itself to accommodate any images pasted in. If a selection already exists, it will be placed on the image first. ## Delete Keyboard Shortcut: Del Deletes the selection from the document. ## Ripple Delete Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Del Deletes the selection from the document and shifts remaining pixels over to fill the gap. ## Select All Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+A Selects the entire document. ## Select All Content Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+A Selects the content of the current layer. Content is determined by the smallest box that contains all non-transparent pixels. This follows the transparency editing mode. ## Deselect Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+D Removes the current selection without placing it. ## Place Object Keyboard Shortcut: Enter Places the selection or other object into the current layer. The final appearance of the placed selection depends on multiple options in the Format menu. ## Edit Text Keyboard Shortcut: F2 When using the Text tool, allows you to change the text currently being edited ## Rasterize Text Converts the current text object into an image selection. This allows you to perform pixel-based filters on it, but prevents you from editing the text as text. ## Copy To Keyboard Shortcut: None Allows you to save the current selection into a file. ## Paste From Keyboard Shortcut: None Opens a file from your computer and creates a selection. You can move the selection around before placing it. ## Paste as New Image Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+V Creates a new document from the current data on the clipboard. ## Properties Keyboard Shortcut: None Opens the Properties dialog, which allows you to view and edit attributes of the image.
