The
simplest method to select text is to double-click your left mouse
button. The amount of text selected depends on the location of your
cursor.
- If
the cursor immediately precedes an open parenthesis, VLISP selects
all the following text up to the matching close parenthesis.
- If
the cursor immediately follows a close parenthesis, VLISP selects
all preceding text up to the matching open parenthesis.
- If
the cursor immediately precedes or follows a word, or is within
a word, VLISP selects that word.
To select specific text, press and hold the
SHIFT key while pressing the arrow keys on the keyboard. Other keyboard
