The editing area is a standard GTK editing area. This means there are many keyboard shortcuts available to navigate through the text.

• Ctrl+Right-Arrow will jump to the next word boundary
• Ctrl+Left-Arrow will jump to the previous word boundary
• End will jump to the end of line
• Home will jump to the beginning of the line
• Page-Up will jump one page up
• Page-Down will jump one page down
• Ctrl+Home will jump to the top of the document
• Ctrl+End will jump to the end of the document

These shortcuts are also available when selecting text. Some examples:

• To select the current line, press Home, hold Shift and press End.
• To select the current word, press Ctrl+Left-Arrow, hold Shift and press Ctrl+Right-Arrow.
