The following commands all inspect and change the selection in the active document.

Select All

This behaves exactly as the Select All menu command in that it selects all content in the currently active Text object (eg: document body, table cell, etc).

Select All Document v1.0.1

This selects all content in the document across all Text objects.

Select Start

Select End

Places the caret (insertion point) at the start or end of the current selection.

Select Document Start v1.3

Places the caret (insertion point) at the very start of the document’s main body text.

Select Document End v1.3

Places the caret (insertion point) at the very end of the document’s main body text.

Adjust Selection Start By delta v2.1

Shifts the active selection’s starting point by the given number of characters.

If the given number of characters is positive, this will move the selection’s starting point forward, decreasing the selection’s length by a corresponding number of characters. The selection’s endpoint is unchanged, unless the shift is larger than the original selection’s length, which results in a zero length selection whose location is after the original selection.

If the given number of characters is negative, this will extend the selection backwards, increasing its length. The endpoint is unchanged.

Any shift that would create an out-of-bounds selection is safely and silently limited to the current text area.

Adjust Selection End By delta v2.1

Shifts the active selection’s ending point by the given number of characters.

If the given number of characters is positive, this will extend the selection’s length. The start point is unchanged.

If the given number of characters is negative, this will move the selection’s endpoint backward, decreasing the selection’s length by a corresponding number of characters. The selection’s start point is unchanged, unless the shift is larger than the original selection’s length, which results in a zero length selection whose location is before the original selection.

Any shift that would create an out-of-bounds selection is safely and silently limited to the current text area.

Adjust Selection Caret By delta v2.1

If the active selection is a caret (aka: insertion point or zero-length selection), then this command moves it forward or backward by the given number of characters. If the active selection is not a caret, the selection is converted to an insertion point located at the start of the active selection, and then that caret is shifted as requested.

Any shift that would create an out-of-bounds selection is safely and silently limited to the current text area.
