You can also use ALT keys on the menus like you would do in any Windows application, and when editing text the normal key combinations also apply, such as Ctrl + Z for Undo, Ctrl + X for Cut, Ctrl + C for Copy, Ctrl + V for Paste and Ctrl + A for Select All. Note: Ctrl + Z only 'undoes' what you have typed; it does not reverse any changes you make to your system!
