Undo, Redo. Undoes or redoes the last action in the undo/redo stack. Opal provides full support for sequential Undo and Redo. So, every action is undoable, and immediately afterwards you can “undo the undo” by choosing Redo; in fact, you can choose Undo repeatedly to work your way backwards through a series of actions, and you can then choose Redo repeatedly to work your forwards through the undone actions.

Cut [Topic(s)]. Cuts selected text or, if there is a topic selection, the selected topics and their families.

Copy [Topic(s)]. Copies selected text or, if there is a topic selection, the selected topics and their families.

Copy Topic Without Family. Copies each selected topic without its family.

Paste [Topics]. Pastes text or topic(s), depending on what’s on the clipboard.

Paste Text as Topics. Pastes topic(s) even if what’s on the clipboard is text.

Paste and Match Style. Enabled only if the selection is within a topic’s text. Pastes using the text formatting of the start of the selection.

Delete. Removes the selected text or topic(s), just like Cut, but without placing the removed material on the clipboard.

Insert Newline. Inserts a Return character into the text of a topic.

Select > All. If the selection is within a topic’s content, selects all the text of that topic. If the selection is a topic as a whole, expands the entire outline and selects every topic.

Select > Visible. Selects all topics that are not hidden because of having a collapsed ancestress.

Select > Family. Expands and selects every selected topic as well as its daughters, their daughters, and so on.

Select > Generation. Expands the outline as necessary, and selects all topics at the same level of indentation as each selected topic.

Select > Sisters. Selects all sisters of all selected topics.

Find > Search. Selects the contents of the Search field so you can start typing to produce a new search.

Find > Find... Summons the Find dialog.

Find > Find Next. Highlights the next occurrence in the document of the text in the Find field of the Find dialog.

Find > Find Previous. Highlights the previous occurrence in the document of the text in the Find field of the Find dialog.

Find > Use Selection for Find. Enters the currently selected text (or the text of the current topic) into the Find field of the Find dialog.

Find > Jump to Selection. Scrolls the current topic into view.

Spelling > Spelling... Brings up the standard Mac OS X spell-checking window, where you can navigate and correct all spelling errors in the document.

Spelling > Check Spelling. Selects the next word in the document that Mac OS X’s spell-checking mechanism thinks is misspelled.

Spelling > Check Spelling as You Type. Toggles whether misspelled words in the current document are marked automatically with a dotted underline as you edit the document. There is also a preference for turning on or off “Check spelling as you type” for each new document; your setting in this menu item overrides that preference, for this individual outline.

Special Characters... Brings up the system’s Character Palette for entering Unicode characters.
