Shortcuts you didn't know about?

Thanks - Cadimage: http://blog.cadimage.com/2012/12/shortcuts-you-didnt-know-about/

When ArchiCAD was first done a lot of the shortcuts used in Wordpad would work in ArchiCAD

This has changed over time but a some of them still do, here are some which come in handy

CTRL+Backspace     –     deletes the entire word instead of just one character

CTRL+5      -     another way of doing Select all

CTRL+HOME    -     moves cursor to start of text instead of start of line

CTRL+END     –     moves cursor to end of text, instead of end of line
