<h3>Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>When using a shortcut to copy/delete/cut code, if you have a selection made, that is what will get copied or cut. If you don't have an active selection, the current line will get copied or cut.</li>
<li>You can get comments to line up with your code if you select all the text on the line and do a block comment instead of a single line comment.</li>
<li>When copying a block of code, make sure you select from the beginning of the first line to the end of the last line, instead of just the beginning and the end of text.</li>
</ul>
