Triple Clicking Highlights Entire Line in QuickBASIC Editor (42804)






This article was previously published under Q42804

SUMMARY

Triple clicking selects (highlights) an entire program line in the editor in QuickBASIC Version 1.00 for Macintosh.

Double clicking a word selects an entire word.

You can also highlight text by dragging the mouse over the text or by single clicking while holding down the SHIFT key.

Once you have selected text, you can Cut or Copy it into the editor clipboard for subsequent Pasting. Pressing the BACKSPACE key (or DELETE key on newer keyboards) deletes the text without saving it.
