Selecting Text

In µVision3, you may select text by holding down Shift and pressing the appropriate cursor key. For example, Ctrl+Right Arrow moves the cursor to the next word while Shift+Ctrl+Right Arrow selects the text from the current cursor position to the beginning of the next word.

You may also use the mouse to select text.
