Brace matching
When viewing and navigating in source code, brace matching highlights matching opening
and closing braces – {}, (), [], <>. If you highlight a brace with the cursor, then the matching
brace is highlighted in the same color. If you press CTRL+E, or select Edit>Match Brace,
then the cursor moves to the corresponding brace.

Text selection and clipboard operations
The editor offers the same clipboard features (Cut, Copy and Paste) used by standard
Windows-based text editors using the same keystroke combinations. You can select text
with the mouse, using the left mouse button alone or using <Alt + left mouse button> to
define any rectangle in the text area and select the text it contains.
Drag and drop
Any selected block of text (highlighted using the text cursor) can also be dragged while
holding down the left mouse button and moved to another window in STVD, another
application, or to a new location inside the Editor window. When dragged, a cross-hatch
square symbol accompanies the mouse cursor to indicate the transfer of text.
The same action (drag with left mouse button) with the Control key depressed, copies the
highlighted text to the new location. In this case, a square symbol containing a plus sign
accompanies the mouse cursor.
Find features
The Editor window provides standard find and replace commands to help you locate and
update specific strings. The Find, Find next, Replace and Find in files functions are available
from the Edit menu. The Find command is also available in the contextual menu.
In addition to searches for strings or variables, the Editor allows you to search for patterns of
characters by using Regular expressions.
