+  * Cursors: Move one character left, right, up or down.
-  * **RS-RT** or **RS<sup>hold</sup>-RT**: Moves to the end of the current line.
+  * Cursor right at the end of the line: It will move to the start of the next line.
-  * **RS-LF** or **RS<sup>hold</sup>-LF**: Moves to the start of the current line.
+  * **RS-RT**: Moves to the end of the current line.
+  * **RS-LF**: Moves to the start of the current line.
   * **RS-UP**: Moves to the first line of text.
   * **RS-DN**: Moves to the last line of text.
   * **RS<sup>hold</sup>-UP**: Moves up one page of text.

   * **Alpha<sup>hold</sup>-DN**: Shows the next suggestion.
   * **Alpha<sup>hold</sup>-RT**: Insert the suggestion into the editor.
-The autocomplete feature works best when the editor is in programming mode 'P', used in combination with the temporary alphanumeric mode. For example, Press **ALPHA<sup>hold</sup>**, then press **C** to get suggested ''CMP'', then pressing **O** will suggest ''COPYCLIP'', and finally pressing **RN** will insert ''COPYCLIP'' into the editor. Now you can release **ALPHA** to return to programming mode.

 To select text when inside the editor, use the following keys:
   * **LS-LF**: Define the start of the selection at the cursor location.
-  * **LS-RN**: Define the end of the selection at the cursor location.
+  * **LS-RT**: Define the end of the selection at the cursor location.
   * **LS<sup>hold</sup>-LF**: Copy the selection to the clipboard.
-  * **LS<sup>hold</sup>-RN**: Paste the clipboard at the cursor location.
+  * **LS<sup>hold</sup>-RT**: Paste the clipboard at the cursor location.
   * **LS<sup>hold</sup>-DN**: Cut the selection into the clipboard.
 The clipboard is also shared with the stack, so objects from the stack can be pasted into the editor and text from the editor can be pasted into the stack.

+==== Using the menus while in the editor ====
+When the editor is open, most commands in the menu will insert the command name to the command line. When the editor is in algebraic mode **A**, some commands will be inserted as a function, including opening and closing parenthesis.
+If the menu is showing variables, using the menu tab will insert the name of the variable in the editor.
+When using left or right shift (which normally do ''STO'' and ''RCL'' respectively), the ''STO'' or ''RCL'' will also be inserted.
+Finally, when using **RS<sup>hold</sup>-menukey** the content of the variable will be inserted as text in the editor.
+If the menu tab is displaying a directory, the menu key will change to the directory instead of inserting it's name. This allows traversing directories while editing text, transparently. The **LS-UP** (''UPDIR'') and **LS<sup>hold</sup>-UP** (''HOME'') are also active during the editing session.
