However, just like the arrow keys, you can modify the delete behavior. Deleting textĪs you would expect, the delete key will delete the current selection, or a single character to the left of your cursor. For instance, shift left or shift right will add a single character in either direction to your selection, shift option left and shift option right will add everything to the next word break to your selection, and shift command left or shift command right will add everything from your cursor to the beginning or end of the line to your selection. To select text instead of moving your cursor, just hold down the shift key and otherwise use the same shortcuts as you would to navigate the document. If you are using a laptop keyboard without these keys, you can simulate them using the following keypresses:

Pressing page up or page down will scroll you upwards or downwards, while home will scroll to the very beginning of the document and end will scroll to the very end of the document. You can scroll your document using the page up, page down, home, and end keys. If you press command up or command down you will jump to the very beginning or end of the document, respectively.

This will respect soft wrapping, so if you are in a very long line that has been soft wrapped several times and need to get to the beginning or end of the actual line, it may be quicker to press option up or option down to reach the next line, and then arrow from there to the beginning or end of the line you want. Press command left or command right to jump to the beginning or end of the line your cursor is on. Similarly, if you press option down, you will jump to the end of the next line. If you press option up, you will jump to the beginning of the previous line (acts the same regardless of whether soft wrapping is on or off). (Depending on your system settings, certain punctuation characters may be considered word characters see the Quick Tip). If you press option left or option right, you will jump between words. Under the Region dropdown, select 'Americas ▸ United States, Computer' to make sure that Espresso respects things periods and other punctuation as word breaks. For the best results when selecting or moving between words, you should open up System Preferences in the Apple menu and click the Language and Region icon.
