Description Rick Furr 2009-05-28 14:31:29 UTC 
The new text edit feature is great (the delete key works!) but editing was awkward because I could not quickly select unwanted text and then delete it.  Text selection is enabled by moving the cursor to a start position and then holding <Shift> while using the <Left Arrow> and <Right Arrow> keys.  Then the selected text can be cut/pasted/deleted.

would be nice but someone needs to sit down and implement it
