Cut & Copy & Paste (and other L function keys)

The labeled keys on the left side of the keyboard do what you might intuitively expect. For example, to Cut and Paste a region of text in your document, begin by marking the region. This can be done either by highlighting it with the left mouse button or by using the keypad + to mark the beginning of the region and then move the cursor to the end of the region to be cut. Then hit Cut. Move your cursor to the position you want to paste it in and hit the Paste key. The F8 (Kill-Rgn) and F5 (Yank) are the key binding equivalents.
