4. Selecting

Many commands in Amaya act on the current selection. You can make a selection using the keyboard or

the mouse, as described below.

No matter how you make the current selection, Amaya displays the type of the first selected element at

the bottom of the window, preceded by the types of the enclosing elements in the structure. This may be

helpful when the document structure is complex.

For example, selecting a word in this sentence displays the following message in the status bar:

html > body > div > p

meaning that the selection is within a p element, which is within a div element in the body of the html

document. This sequence of element names is called a path.

Selecting this character string (for example click on the word "character") displays

html > body > div > p > strong

4.1. Selecting with the mouse

• To set the insertion point, click with the left mouse button.

• To select some text, drag across a region: hold down the left mouse button, move the mouse,

and release the button when the desired text is selected.

• To select an entire word, double-click on any character of the word.

• To select a whole element such as this list item, click its bullet or number.

• To extend the selection, click with the left mouse button while holding down the Shift key.

• To select a structure element, click within the element you want and then select the desired

structure level via the keyboard as described below

4.2. Selecting in the status bar

• To set the insertion point, click with the left mouse button.

• Click in the status bar (at the bottom of the window) on an element name to select an ancestor

(and everything in it).

In the previous example, when cliking on div in the status bar, the enclosing division is selected

html > body > div > p > strong

• When the selection is changed this way, the path is not updated and you may adjust the final

selection on any ancestor or descendant element.

4.3. Selecting with the keyboard

Selecting a structure element

• Press the F2 key to select the parent element in the document structure. Press that key several

times to select ancestors (and everything in them) up the structure towards the root.

• Press Shift-F2 to select the first child of the current element.

• Press F4 to select the next element at the same level (sibling), or at the level of the parent

element if there is no next sibling at the current level.

• Press Shift-F4 to select the previous element at the same level (sibling), or at the level of the

parent element if there is no previous sibling at the current level.
