Text Editor Commands

Below is the list of commands available in Text Editor. The commands can be called by:

  • pressing a hot key,
  • using the DoCommand method of the Commands subobject of a component

However, not all these methods are available for each command. Availability of this or that calling method is described in the table below: "+" means that the command is available by default, "*" — the command can be added by developer.
