Inserting and arranging elements:
• The commands for working in the editor by default are available in the FBD/LD/IL
menu, the most important always also in the context menu. It always depends on
the current cursor position resp. the current selection (multiselection possible)
which elements currently can be inserted via menu command.
• Elements also can be directly dragged with the mouse from the toolbox to the
editor window or from one position within the editor to another ("Drag&Drop").
For this purpose select the element by a mouse-click, then keep the mouse-button
pressed and drag the element into the respective network in the editor view. As
soon as you have reached the network, all possible insert positions for the
respective type of element will be indicated by grey position markers. When you
place the mouse-cursor on one of these positions, the position marker will change
to green and you can release the mouse-button in order to place the element at
that position.
• The Cut, Copy, Paste and Delete commands, by default available in the Edit menu,
can be used to arrange elements. Copying an element is also possible by drag and
drop: Select the element within a network by a mouse-click and while keeping the
mousebutton pressed, drag it to the target position. As soon as that is reached
(green position marker), a plus-symbol will be added to the cursor symbol. Release
the mouse-button to insert the element.
• For all possible cursor positions see: Cursor positions FBD/LD/IL.
Navigating:
• The arrow keys might be used to jump to the next resp. previous cursor position;
also possible between networks.
• The <Tab> key might be used to jump to the next resp. previous cursor position
within a network.

• <Ctrl>+End> scrolls to the end of the document and marks the last network
