Using the Text Editor

How to Properly Use the Text Editor

The text editor in TerminalFour is similar to any other word processor, with a few added extras.

Basic editing features

You can use the editor to paste text, add images, create bulleted lists, and spell check your content before it鈥檚 published.

Cut, Copy and Paste

Cut, Copy and paste are all under the Edit button, but you can also use Ctrl+x (cut), Ctrl+c (copy), Ctrl+v (paste) if these don鈥檛 work in your browser (on Macs: Command+x, Command+c, Command+v).

It鈥檚 best to write most of your text in Word or another word processor and then paste it into TerminalFour to ensure you have a backup copy.

Paste as Text 

Select this option if you鈥檇 like your pasted content to show up as plain text, which strips out formatting. 

Formatting Text

Apply text formatting using the Format menu 鈥 you can highlight text and make bold or italicized text, or apply headlines:
